CaRTO also come up with their own ideas to support tenants. Their initiatives include:
Digital inclusion project at Queen Elizabeth Court in Fettercairn

Participatory Budgeting fund for tenants
When do CaRTO meet?

COVID-19: CaRTO are busier than ever, holding virtual meetings during social distancing. Non-online tenants can join the same meeting by phoning in, similar to a conference call.
What if I can’t manage meetings, but still want to be involved?
You can attend any CaRTO meeting virtually, via Zoom (either video call or simply by calling in using your landline/mobile).
If you’d prefer to dip in and out of tenant participation, CaRTO Home Link is an easy way to see what’s going on and be involved, without the meetings. Home Link is a digital discussion forum. All you need is an email address.
