minute-taking
About the Team
Our remote support service allows your organisation to perform highly time-consuming tasks and activities outside the 9-5 timeframe, thereby increasing your productivity. Working with your organisation, we can provide clients with various forms of remote meeting support services to meet their needs, such as minute-taking. For example, our community engagement minute taking services include:
1. Housing Association Meetings
When a housing association decides to increase rent for tenants in certain properties, out independent meeting minutes service will accurately document the discussions, rationale behind the decision, and any concerns raised by tenants, ensuring transparency and accountability.
3. Local Government Committees
When a local government committee discusses proposals for affordable housing developments in a specific area, our independent meeting minutes will record the deliberations, decisions made, and any concerns raised by committee members or stakeholders, ensuring transparency in the decision-making process.
5. Tenancy Tribunal Hearings
Disputes inevitably arise between tenants and housing providers. When a tenant disputes a rent increase or eviction notice, our independent meeting minutes have provided a detailed record of the hearing, including testimonies from both parties and the Tribunal's ruling, serving as a reference for future legal proceedings if necessary.
7. Community Events
We document discussions and action plans during community events such as town hall meetings, public consultations, and neighbourhood watch gatherings.When residents discuss issues during a neighbourhood meeting, our meeting minutes will record these concerns and any proposed solutions, ensuring that they are followed up by relevant authorities.
9. Tenants Management Organisation
TMOs rely on our meeting minutes to document discussions and decisions related to building maintenance, tenant rights, and community initiatives. Tenants always discuss concerns about building security during meetings, and we independently record these concerns and any proposed measures to address them, ensuring that they are addressed by building management.
2. Tenant Council Meetings
Some tenants have discussed concerns about inadequate heating in their properties during council meetings, our independent meeting minutes will document these concerns and any proposed solutions, serving as a reference for follow-up actions by housing management.
4. Resident Association Meetings
On a South East london project, when residents proposed a neighbourhood watch program to address security concerns, our independent meeting minutes documented the proposal, action plans, and the responsibilities assigned to residents and relevant authorities. Thereby, facilitating effective implementation of the initiative.
6. Local Council Meetings
Our service has been crucial for recording decisions made by councillors regarding community projects, infrastructure developments, and local policies. Once a decision is made to allocate funds for a new community centre, we will document the specifics of the decision, including budget allocations, timelines, and responsibilities.
8. Volunteer Organisations
Our minute-taking is critical for volunteer organisations involved in community engagement activities such as charity fundraisers, environmental clean-up campaigns, and youth mentoring programs. For example, a decision to organise a food drive for a local food bank, meeting - we outlined the logistics, volunteer responsibilities, and fundraising targets - including monitoring.
10. Community Planning
Our community planning committee is responsible for shaping the future development of the neighbourhood. When the planning committee discusses proposals for new housing developments and green spaces, our meeting minutes document the various viewpoints expressed by committee members and any decisions made regarding the proposals.

Although we may work more hours than contracted, our productivity is higher due to fewer distractions, greater autonomy over our work, and the lack of a daily commute.
Another point to remember, our remote support associates are less likely to report sick time off, and their stress levels are well managed.
Having us on the team reduces the turnover rate within organisations, plus those organisations get to retain in-house expertise, thereby reducing costs.
