An experienced TMO or Co-op member will visit you to talk about the benefits and pitfalls of managing your own housing. The Resident Guide can also arrange free study visits so that your group can take a look at other TMOs and Co-ops in action. The NFTMO Resident Guides can also; share their experiences (warts an’ all!) plug a group into a wider network of successful neighbourhood projects. help to identify and recruit suitable professional support (such as S16 Agencies) suggest and arrange training opportunities develop a ‘twinning arrangement’ between one community and another be co-opted on to your group’s committee as a mentor for a fixed period For help please contact the NFTMO Co-ordinator Trevor Bell on 01704 227053 or e-mail trevor@nftmo.com.
