Aged 18 - 30 & a St. Leger tenant?
Or are you 16+ & live in a St Leger Property?
If "Yes"
, then we need you!
Hi there and welcome to the Doncaster Young Tenants Action Group webpage.
DYTAG was formed on 10th March 2007 because there was nothing available for tenants
aged approx 16-30.
We all want to help where it matters the most. If you are a young person starting out, you are not alone. We could help by setting you in the right direction.
We are all from different communities and backgrounds around Doncaster we have come together to form DYTAG.
Claire Wright named the Group.

Since becoming members of DYTAG we've learnt a lot about repairs, lettings and TARA's that we never knew before.
Recent events
On Thursday 27th March 2008 we held our first open day at The Point, 16 South Parade, Doncaster.
"The open day was to invite new people to join our group as we had been approximately a year." Approximately one year after forming the group, we held an open day, inviting people to become members. This was held on Thursday 27th March 2008 at The Point, 16 South Parade, Doncaster.
In the June 08 Houseproud we had our picture and a small statement made about the group.
We also got involved at the tenants and residents day at Doncaster race course. |
