The purpose of Soha’s Corporate Plan is to:

• Describe the shared purpose and values of the Board, Tenants’ Forum and staff
• Outline the direction of Soha’s work
• Provide the framework to enable the senior team to lead Soha, whilst remaining accountable to the Board, tenants and other key stakeholders.

The Corporate Plan clearly states Soha’s:

• Vision
• Purpose
• Aims
• Medium term objectives over three years
• Short term objectives will be added each year

Consultation on the Corporate Plan involved around 600 tenants, including targeted consultation with disabled, younger, older and Black & Minority Ethnic tenants, as well as a survey targeted at leaseholders and shared owners.

This diagram shows the consultation process:

The process begins with consultation with the Tenants' Forum; Directors' Group; Staff; and the Senior Management Team. Wider consultation is sought from other sources and exercises including The Big Knock (350 tenants); Access for All (disabled tenants group); Pub Lunch (younger tenants); Coffee Morning (sheltered scheme); Hometalk survey (to all tenants, 250 responses); and the Connect Club survey (tenants and home owners). Priorties from the initial consultation are then used to draft a Corporate Plan, which in turn is then passed to the Soha Board; Tenants' Forum; Staff; Senior Management Team; Directors' Group; Tenants; and Stakeholders for further review. Final approval of the Plan is then given by the Tenants' Forum and the Soha Board.
