Welcome to Newcastle Tenants Federation Website. We are an independent, umbrella voluntary organisation representing over 85 tenants and residents groups throughout Newcastle upon Tyne.

We are one of the oldest Federation’s in the country having been formed in 1977 by tenants from across the city.

The main aim of the Federation is to support and develop representative and democratic tenants and residents groups so that they can play a full part in decisions about their housing and environment.

To achieve this we offer support to individual tenants and residents groups and bring groups together over issues of common concern. The Federation receives grant aid from the Council to pay for it’s offices and currently employs 4 full time and 2 part time workers.

The Federations day-to-day work is organised by an Executive Committee of volunteers from different member tenants and residents groups. This committee is elected once a year at an annual general meeting to which all tenants and residents groups are invited.
