Derby Homes Rewards Scheme

The Derby Homes Rewards Scheme encourages tenants and leaseholders* to keep a clear rent or service charge account, and to keep to their tenancy conditions.

We run prize draws and competitions for Derby Homes Rewards members. .

We regularly review the scheme, so if you have any ideas or suggestions on how we can improve it, please email marketing@derbyhomes.org.

Following a recent review, we will no longer run the annual It Pays to Pay and Garden Competition.

How to become a Derby Homes Rewards member

You are automatically a member of Derby Homes Rewards if you:

• have a clear rent or service charge account
• do not cause nuisance to your neighbours or people living in your area
• keep to your tenancy conditions.

If you do not comply with these conditions, you will not qualify as a member of the scheme. We check all competition entries to make sure that our winners qualify for membership of the scheme.

Quarterly prize draws

Some quarters we offer you a chance to win gift certificates that can be exchanged for high street entertainment and other retail vouchers. For your chance to win, simply answer the question on the entry form enclosed with your copy of Derby Homes News and return it to us by the closing date shown or visit our online competition page for more information. You will find the answer to the question somewhere in the Derby Homes News.

Only one entry allowed for each household. All entrants must be willing to take part in publicity.

You can also email your answer to marketing@derbyhomes.org along with your name, full address and telephone number.

All winners must be members of the Derby Homes Reward Scheme. The prizes offered can not be exchanged for any cash equivalent

*Some competitions may be restricted to entry by tenants only (and leaseholders may not be eligible). We apologise for any disappointment that this may cause.
