    We have around 4,500 resident shareholders

    These shareholders are invited to Annual General Meetings (AGMs) and vote on resolutions, including for Board Members and who our auditors should be.

    However, typically fewer than 100 shareholders vote at our AGMs. This year, we’ve held a series of workshops and conversations with shareholders to see if we can make it more meaningful to more people.

  • A group of residents are sat around a table at a meeting about shareholding.

    At those meetings, residents told us:

    • They want more connection and communication with Eastlight, and feel the connection isn’t as strong as it once was
    • Many residents want to give their time and energy to make a difference in their communities
    • Some felt shareholding itself is a misleading term, as it suggests shareholders have a financial stake in Eastlight, which they do not.
  • A man and a woman are stood together looking at a clipboard. The man is writing on the clipboard with a pen.

    We have now begun working alongside a group of shareholders to co-design a new offer.

    If there are any substantive changes, then we would put that proposal to shareholders.

    It’s not too late to get involved! If you’re a shareholder and want to share your views, please email community@eastlighthomes.co.uk or call us on 0330 128 0330.
