All Saints Community Development Company
Charity 1095879
Overview
Summary
All Saints Community Development Company appears to be a place-based civic infrastructure organisation: it combines a physical community hub with broad charitable powers spanning wellbeing, employment, recreation and support for older residents. Its role seems less like that of a specialist service provider and more like a local platform intended to create conditions for participation, opportunity and community life in Kings Heath. The available evidence suggests an unusually wide remit anchored in buildings, space and local access.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Brandwood and Kings Heath
Confidence: high
Direct, recent evidence places the charity's operational venue, community facilities and programme activity in Kings Heath. Birmingham City Council identifies Kings Heath within the Brandwood and Kings Heath ward.
- All Saints Centre official website — Room Hire, accessed via search index
The site describes All Saints Centre in Kings Heath as newly refurbished for 2025, open for community meetings, events, workshops and performances, with the Village Square among the available spaces. - All Saints Centre official website — Children and Young People, accessed via search index
The site states that the centre provides children’s and youth activities, including the All Saints Youth Project, in Kings Heath. - All Saints Centre official website — Village Square, accessed via search index
The organisation describes Kings Heath Village Square as part of its site and says it runs music and arts events, markets and community activities there. - Charity Commission register — All Saints Community Development Company, charity 1095879
The charity reports that it developed the All Saints Centre and Village Square in the heart of Kings Heath and provides initiatives and activities for Kings Heath residents and the wider community. - Birmingham City Council — Brandwood and Kings Heath ward map and ward pages
The council identifies Brandwood and Kings Heath as an official Birmingham ward covering the Kings Heath area.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence strongly supports a single operational hub in Kings Heath, but does not establish direct service delivery from additional sites elsewhere in Birmingham.
- The official centre website says that the All Saints Youth Project supports young people in South Birmingham. This indicates a broader beneficiary catchment, but it does not evidence delivery locations beyond the Kings Heath hub and therefore does not justify adding other wards.
- The site includes the Robin Centre, All Saints Community Projects, the parish church, health services and activities run by external groups. These are co-located or associated with the site, but the available evidence distinguishes some of them as separate legal entities or independent organisations; their activity should not all be treated as direct delivery by All Saints Community Development Company.
- Some website programme pages contain historic material alongside current 2025 refurbishment information, so the precise current timetable and scale of every listed activity cannot be confirmed from the available sources.
Additional evidence needed
- The latest trustees' annual report or impact report specifying current programmes, delivery locations and beneficiary catchments.
- A current organisational service directory distinguishing activities directly delivered by All Saints Community Development Company from those delivered by tenant, partner or separately registered organisations.
- Confirmation from the organisation of whether it operates outreach, detached youth work or commissioned services at locations outside the All Saints Centre and Kings Heath Village Square.

Observations
A community hub with a broad social mandate
The organisation appears to use the All Saints Centre and Village Square as practical infrastructure through which it can pursue multiple social aims, rather than operating around a single issue or beneficiary group.
Why it matters
This helps explain how health, employment, leisure, training and community activity may be connected in its model: shared place may be the organisation's main integrating asset.

Employment is framed as an access problem, not only a skills problem
Its objects suggest that barriers to work may be addressed through affordable workspace, buildings or land as well as training and support, indicating a potentially asset-based approach to economic inclusion.
Why it matters
This distinguishes the organisation from employment charities focused solely on advice or courses, and raises the possibility that it can connect local economic development with control of local space.

The organisation may be designed to bridge generations and communities
The combination of youth employment, older people's care, general health, disability and ethnic or racial-origin beneficiary categories suggests an ambition to serve a mixed local population rather than a narrowly defined cohort.
Why it matters
This may position the organisation as a potential connector between groups whose needs are often addressed separately, while also creating a challenge of maintaining focus across a very wide remit.
