Help!! Has anyone got any interesting or unusual ideas for a take up campaign mainly for general needs tenants. We already do joint surgeries for our pensioners with the Pension Service but feel we don't do enough to encourage our other tenants.

If you haven't already done so, have a look at the DWP Council Tax Benefit take up guide at

Although it my not be relevant to your caseload, I like their idea of putting fliers in with LA payslips!
