Empowering Communities Through Unity and Diversity
Welcome to the City of Birmingham Foundation, a Community Interest Company (CIC) dedicated to creating unity and diversity through community engagement, support, and empowerment. Our mission is to provide equal access to activities for all members of the public, regardless of their race, ethnicity, gender, sexuality, or religion.
Our Vision
We are committed to supporting and benefiting vulnerable and marginalised groups, including ex-offenders, ex-serving armed forces personnel, refugees, and those experiencing poverty and homelessness. Our passion lies in inspiring and empowering everyone, especially young people, to reach their full potential through education, development, and community engagement.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide a safe and exciting space for all members of the community, young and old, to express themselves and engage in recreational activities. This space, separate from home, school, and work, will offer opportunities to build supportive relationships, receive mentorship, and gain guidance on moving forward positively. Our “unity through diversity” ethos is at the heart of our initiative, bringing together community, culture, and creativity.
What We Offer
We offer a range of multi-sport activities, including football, basketball, tennis, squash, cricket, volleyball, and general fitness activities. These activities are designed to support and inspire personal growth, boost self-confidence, and prepare individuals for enhanced job prospects and economic advancement.
We provide mentoring, coaching, and relationship-building services that guide and assist individuals across the community. Our efforts focus on linking individuals with appropriate role models and mentors, offering personalised advice and support to help participants develop essential skills and cultivate valuable relationships.
Our organisation is dedicated to fostering health and wellbeing through physical exercise opportunities. We offer access to our own facilities and work closely with local venues to ensure that everyone in the community can participate in physical activities. Our initiative aims to boost community health, reduce chronic diseases, and improve overall wellbeing.
We offer comprehensive employment support, including apprenticeship and work experience placements, job search assistance, CV writing, and facilitating entry into training and employment opportunities. Our initiatives tackle specific community challenges such as homelessness, isolation, and crime prevention, featuring a range of training courses and employment paths.
Community Engagement
Grassroots Clubs and Charity Organisations
We provide grassroots clubs and charity organisations with affordable facilities to hold functions and events, creating a sense of community and belonging.
Professional Workshops and Seminars
We collaborate with mentors, professional coaches, and businesses to host workshops, seminars, and conferences at our site, enriching the community with knowledge and networking opportunities.
Regular Clubs and Meetings
Our site hosts regular clubs, counselling sessions, tutorials, meetings, and networking events to engage the community and provide ongoing support and resources.
Empowering the Community through Partnerships and Investment
We aim to empower the youth and elderly by providing a workable place for all to use as a community hub.
Our fully functioning facility will offer numerous opportunities for employment and involvement, ensuring a vibrant, cohesive, and resilient community. We seek to form partnerships with high-end businesses and individuals to support the development and investment into our facility. By doing so, we aim to create more opportunities for disadvantaged individuals and create a supportive and inclusive community.
Any surplus funds generated by our company will be reinvested into the business to enable us to support the positive development of more disadvantaged individuals. Join us in our mission to create a unified, diverse, and empowered community in the West Midlands and inner-city Birmingham.
Together, we can make a difference.
