Be a WGHC Buddy
If you are a WGHC Tenant and would like to be “buddy up” with another WGHC tenant during this lockdown period please contact us and ask to speak to a member of our Housing Management Team. With the relevant permissions, we can put you in touch with someone for you to keep in regular contact with by phone or social media. Being a buddy can be anything from making a quick phone call for a friendly chat to offering to help with shopping. Above all, it is simply about keeping tenants connected, especially for those who may be living on their own or for those who do not have any immediate family living nearby. WGHC staff are currently in regular contact with many of our tenants during this difficult period. Please remember we are here to help and listen. Stay safe and well.
Keeping You and the Public Safe: Lothian Gas Engineers in your Home
WGHC use “Lothian Gas” as its gas central heating contractor. If you are a Co-op tenant and require a central heating repair or gas safety check please be advised that with immediate effect we are asking all WGHC tenants to respect Government guidelines on social and physical distancing. When a Lothian Gas engineers calls at your home, please allow the engineer access and then remove yourself to another room whilst works are being carried out. The engineer will call on you to let you know when works have been finished and they are leaving your home. Your co-operation with these guidelines and working with all of us to protect Public Health is very much appreciated. If you have any questions please call the WGHC Maintenance Team on 0131 551 5035.
