Southwark Group Of Tenants Organisations – Digital Tea Party

This community event organised by the SGTO aims to get people who are not confident with digital technology to familiarise with the use of computers and access to the internet. Come along and use the internet to do one thing you would not usually have done due to fear of trying, lack of skills or confidence.

The team will be asking you to use the internet to do one thing you have never done before online –

It could be:

• Your first time of using “My Southwark” to pay your Bills – Council tax, Rent, Parking Fine and more
• First online shopping experience – ordering food from ASDA, Sainsbury’s, Tesco and other online stores.
• Setting up online banking – make payment and move money from your bank account or simply checking your bank balance.
• Searching and applying for jobs online and attaching CV to job application.
• Homesearch online – Bid for your new property.
• Keeping in touch with family and friends – using Email, Facebook, and Twitter.
• Keeping-up with fun and hobbies online– Booking holiday, adventures or attractions
• Booking a health appointment to see a GP, or order your prescription online.

Even if you are not sure of what new thing to do, just come along to the event on Wednesday 4^th of October, between 11am – 4.00pm.

More about the SGTO

SGTO originated from the Association of London Housing Estates, which was founded by the London County Council in the late 1950s. In 1984, Southwark tenants decided to set up their own organisations and be responsible for their own affairs.

The Southwark Group of Tenants Organisation (SGTO) has been in existence for about twenty-three years now. Through the years, SGTO has been involved (amongst other things) in campaigning for better housing conditions, tenants’ rights and tenants’ involvement in decision making.

In the past year, SGTO has undergone enormous changes in structure to meet Council tenants needs. The rejuvenated SGTO is now strategically positioned to promote Southwark Council tenants rights, ensure tenants involvement in decision making, safer communities and encourage ethnic and cultural diversity.

It should be noted that the term ‘tenant’ represents both Southwark Council tenants and Southwark Homeowners who pay service charges to Southwark Council.
