Sheltered schemes

Updated: 06 May 2011

Gateway owns and manages 14 sheltered schemes in Tower Hamlets.

All schemes have a scheme manager employed for 35 hrs per week, with a warden call system in each flat for when the scheme manager is not on site. All schemes have security entrances with intercom.

The majority of schemes have well-established social clubs and arrange outings, events and parties for residents.

Tenant Involvement Group (TIG)

Each of our sheltered schemes has a tenant involvement group (TIG) who get together to sort out any issues people in your scheme or community are worried about. You can also put your views across and suggest improvements to our services, as well as organising social activities and outings. The TIG is open to all residents in your scheme.
