Radian resident shortlisted for ‘Tenant of the Year’ award

Radian resident, Carol McCall has been shortlisted for a prestigious ‘Tenant of the Year’ award. Carol, who lives in Sawyers Close, Windsor was nominated for the TPAS (Tenant Participation Advisory Service) Awards, southern region.

Carol has been involved with Radian and before it, Windsor Housing for the last 15 years. She is now the vice chair of the Thames Area panel, sits on the Radian Residents Council, is a founding member of and now Chairs Sawyers Close Residents association and sits on numerous boards within Radian. Carol is equally involved in her local community undertaking numerous voluntary roles.

Rachel Salter, Community Involvement Team Leader at Radian said, ’We are thrilled that Carol has been shortlisted for this award. We are very proud of Carol and grateful to her for the time, commitments and passion that she gives to her roles at Radian, she is a real inspiration to us, so this recognition of her achievement is brilliant’.

Carol’s commitment to her local community through her involvement with Radian, as a member of other local groups and her local volunteering has made a real and positive impact. Through the projects and groups with which Carol has been involved, anti-social behaviour (ASB) has been reduced, young and older residents have been provided with new opportunities and activities, rubble strewn ground has been replaced with new gardens and, as a result, the community is closer and stronger.

As well as committing significant time to helping Radian improve its services to its residents, Carol is a community crime fighter, the vice chair of the local youth club management committee and a volunteer for St. John’s Ambulance. Since Carol helped to start Sawyers Close Residents Association the ASB on the estate has reduced by 70%.

A Warm Welcome To Leslie Dunne House

Radian’s Leslie Dunne House, a sheltered scheme in Dedworth, invited visitors to attend an Open Day to have a look around the newly refurbished studio flats, meet some of the current residents and to get a feel for what life is like within its friendly and sociable community.

Change to 'Radian' Managing Agent

When we formed the Radian Group, our goal was to work together more efficiently so that we could spend more money on improving services for you, our customer. We have already made many savings but, because we have six different organisations in Radian, we can make even more savings by making things simpler.

We now think it makes sense to have all of our staff working for one organisation. To keep it simple, we're going to call this 'Radian'. From 1st January 2011 Radian will be the 'managing agent' for all homes owned by Radian group members. On a day-to-day basis, you shouldn't notice any changes because most staff members who currently provide you with housing services will be working for Radian, so you will see the same familiar faces.

If there is anything else you want to ask, please either phone us on 0300 1231 567 or email us at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it . Please note that Radian Direct will be closed between 24th December and 4th January. We would be grateful if customers with queries about the change in managing agent could ring back after 6th January, this will allow us to give priority to phone calls about repairs after the festive break.
