Customer Committee
What is it?
The Customer Committee at Clarion is a newly established group made up of six residents. Each member has been selected to help shape and improve our services. The committee is a vital part of our commitment to ensuring that residents are listened to and services are delivered to the highest standard.
How will they help?
The Customer Committee will meet at least four times a year in person to positively impact the improvement process. As well as these meetings, members will take part in reviews and consultations on various projects and policies here at Clarion. This encourages communication and collaboration between us and residents and helps create a community-first approach to improvements.
The six members help bring fresh perspectives to Clarion, helping us adapt and tailor our services effectively. We are proud to have welcomed individuals from various walks of life, emphasising that everyone, regardless of experience or skill set, has a valuable contribution to make. The only prerequisites for committee membership were a positive attitude, a willingness to collaborate, and a passion for making a difference in the community.
