What will you be doing?

As a charity with a strong history rooted in the locality of Balsall Heath and beyond, we have been working with communities and partners to enable a truly responsive and agile offer, for nearly 50 years. Our new Strategic Plan 2024-2027 sets out a revised Vision ‘A fairer and brighter future for the communities' and is supported by a 3 year action plan.

Our life-long support, from our nursery provision, childcare, to supporting the 0-19 agenda and family hubs, to our education settings that support young people across the city, our city farm and community hubs that support local networks and vulnerable adults on a range of foci, provides the platform to enable us to achieve our Vision and Mission ‘Nurturing lifelong opportunities that leave a lasting impact by working together and investing in initiatives’.

As we continue to grow and make an impact in our community, we're looking to expand our Board of Trustees and bring on fresh, diverse perspectives.

Whether you’re deeply rooted in our local community or have different experiences, if you share our passion, we want to hear from you. To build on our Board that reflects the diversity of our communities, we especially welcome applications from underrepresented groups.
