TAROE Future Under Threat

England’s largest tenant body is under threat of closing within months due to a shortage of funds. The Tenants’ and Residents’ Organisation of England (TAROE) is concerned that it may have to close by the end of March as a lack of funds means it will no longer be able to run its office and pay its one member of staff. Michael Gelling, chair of TAROE, said he has “exhausted” every possibility of funding he can think of to keep TAROE operating.  He said: “I don’t think there’s anywhere else to go unless there’s a willingness by the sector to keep us going.” Mr Gelling said if every social landlord paid TAROE £100 for the year, the organisation would not have a problem surviving.
