Ensure Eastbourne Homes, their partners, contractors and customer working groups are compliant with disability legislation

To represent Eastbourne Homes on wider disability forums

Improve service delivery through a better understanding of current and potential customers issues and needs

This group is Chaired by the Eastbourne Homes Disability Board Champion. Membership is open to Eastbourne Homes disabled customers and their carers, Eastbourne Homes staff and Mears our disabled adaptations contractors.
The panel meet every other month. Complimentary transport can be provided to get to and from meetings.
