Empower Aberdeen 2026

NETRALT joined local charities and support services to promote tenant participation, answer housing-related questions and build connections across the third sector.

Empower is Aberdeen’s largest community support event, offering free, face-to-face access to around 60 local charities and support services, all under one roof. The event is a valuable opportunity for people to find advice, discover available support and connect directly with organisations working to make a positive difference in their lives.

At NETRALT, we believe tenants should have opportunities to share their views, influence decisions and play an active role in shaping the housing services that affect them. Events like Empower provide an important opportunity to explain what tenant participation means in practice, discuss housing concerns and help people understand how their voices can be heard.

As well as engaging with members of the public, Empower Aberdeen was an excellent networking opportunity, bringing together organisations from across the third sector. Meeting other charities and support services allowed us to learn more about the work taking place across Aberdeen, exchange ideas and strengthen connections with organisations that share a commitment to supporting local people.

Thank you to the organisers for bringing the community together and helping people access support under one roof!
