The Federation has been in existence for over 20 years helping and representing the views, concerns and opinions of tenants and residents in the borough of Barnsley. Times have changed and so has the focus of the Federation but the commitment of our volunteer’s remains the same.

Membership is open to everyone and is currently made up from the 20 Tenants and Residents Associations (TARA’s) in Barnsley as well as from individuals that do not have a TARA in their area.
