We have extensive experience of reaching those who are often excluded from real choice and opportunity in housing. Our work within London means that we are frequently involved in a diverse, multi-cultural, multi-agency approach. We also have extensive experience working with frail and elderly residents in sheltered accommodation.

We have carried out many large borough-wide consultations with up to 50,000 residents as well as small local or estate based consultation exercises. Solon has an excellent track record of devising innovative way of involving those traditionally excluded and we would bring this experience to bear in actively promoting the broadest possible participation in any consultation process.

Our approach includes:

• Establish access needs
• Door knocking
  
• 1 to 1 drop–in sessions
  
• Consultation meetings
  
• Visits to other schemes
  
• Cultural events
• Single issue groups
• Piggy back on existing projects
• Work with local service providers
