Gold Standard Award Scheme: Support and Recognition for Tenant and Resident Associations

for general Tenant and Resident Association information see the Tenant and Resident Association page

The Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea is proud to offer the Gold Standard Award to recognise tenant and resident associations representing their local community. A Gold Standard association is one that is an expert at seeking out residents' views and has put in place procedures to ensure those views are heard.
