Our customer service

We aim to provide excellent standards of service to all of our customers.  You can find out more about what standards to expect in our ‘Service Standards’ leaflet.

We also want to know if we fail to live up to the promises we make about our services.  You can find out more about how to let us know in our ‘Complaints’ leaflet.  You can also contact us to make a complaint or give us feedback.

Working in our communities

It is our aim to create communities where people really want to live.  As well as maintaining and investing in our housing, we do this through a range of wider community projects.

Our Wider Role activities were first established in 2007.  Today, they consist of the following:
Small Steps Project
The Small Steps Project was established in 2015.  The project aims to increase confidence and self-esteem by delivering holistic and bespoke assistance to customers such as one-to-one and group counselling sessions to reduce levels of loneliness, depression and isolation.
BetterOff North Ayrshire
BetterOff is a service for working age people who live in North Ayrshire.  BetterOff Workers help lone parents, people out of work or on low incomes, to improve their financial circumstances.  You can clean more by visit the website 
 www.northayrshire.betteroff.org.uk.
We also offer a Handyman service (which is chargeable) and a free Helping Hands service for older or disabled ANCHO tenants.  You can find our more in our ‘Handyman and Helping Hands’ leaflet. ​

As well as offering houses for rent, we also offer lock-up garages.  To find out more about where these are and how to apply, look at our ‘Lock-up Garages’ leaflet.
