Get Involved

If you've ever thought New Progress could do things better, then this section of the site is for you. It offers you a range of ways to tell us what you think about our services and tells you how you could become more involved with the way your home is managed.

Resident involvement - who can get involved?

We encourage as many people as possible to get involved in the way that we manage services, homes and communities regardless of race, ethnic origin, disability, nationality, gender, sexuality, religion or anything else that can lead to people feeling the are treated less favourably then others.

All our methods of consultation and involvement are open to everybody and need as little or as much of your time as you want them to. Your views are important to us and will be used to make changes to help improve the services we deliver.

Meet Aimi, your new Fundraising Officer

We have recently appointed a new Fundraising Officer who will be working alongside the Community Investment team and the Community Investment Panel.

Aimi O’Donnell joined New Progress in November. Aimi has joined us from Cumbria Action for Social Support where she worked with young people with drug and alcohol problems.

As part of the Victim Support unit she created and managed an anti-social behaviour project in Carlisle, after securing vital funding to ensure the project could go ahead.

Aimi will primarily be responsible for working with external agencies, organisations, companies and charities to develop fund raising relationships. She will prepare grant funding applications and will be responsible for developing funding products and opportunities.

She said: “I am really excited about developing the role of fundraising officer at New Progress. I am looking forward to working with the Community Investment Panel to secure future funding so that the ideas of tenants can become reality.”
