ETF’s housing blog features stories, reflections and pictures about what’s hot in housing and the communities world.

We are looking for contributors to help tell the story of what’s happening in housing in Edinburgh (…and beyond)  and we need YOUR help. If you’re a tenant, work in housing, interested in community development, or just plain passionate about where you live why not become one of our guest bloggers?

No experience necessary and support will be provided if you need it. Just give us a shout on 0131 475 2509 or email [email protected] to tell us you’re up for it.

Here’s some hints and tips for our blog:

• A photo and a bit about you (name, organisation, why you’re blogging). We know some people might want to be anonymous and that’s fine too.
• People love hearing from real people.
• You’re an expert. Your experiences count. Tell your story.  Be comfortable what you’re sharing.
• If you’re passionate – it will show.
• Talk around the topic – housing, community development, your local area or issue.
• Use pictures, poems, or practical hints and tips to make your point.
• Don’t fear controversy.
• Follow our golden rules when blogging. We need to make sure our online community is safe.

Practical tips:

• Maximum 300 words
• Keep it short and snappy. If it’s more than 300 words – fantastic – that’s two blog posts!
