All Saints Community Projects
Charity 1136158

Overview
Summary
All Saints Community Projects appears to have evolved from a broad neighbourhood charity into a more focused youth-and-family support organisation rooted in Kings Heath. Its present role seems to combine open-access youth provision with targeted inclusion, counselling and family support, rather than treating young people’s needs as separate from their households or transitions into adulthood. Its historic charitable objects remain wider than its current public-facing offer, suggesting an organisation whose formal remit preserves community-wide flexibility while delivery has become more specialised.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Brandwood and Kings Heath
Confidence: medium
The organisation identifies its current core project as All Saints Youth Project and gives All Saints Centre in King's Heath as its operating/contact location. Its website describes current youth sessions, holiday schemes, counselling and family support delivered from the centre in Kings Heath, while the Charity Commission describes its principal activity as particularly benefiting people in the Kings Heath area. Birmingham City Council's current ward geography identifies Brandwood and Kings Heath as a Birmingham ward.

The council's current ward-map publication identifies Brandwood and Kings Heath as a Birmingham ward.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence strongly establishes a Kings Heath operating base but does not provide a current service-user catchment, referral-area policy or geographically detailed data. It is therefore not possible to determine how consistently services reach neighbouring wards.
- The charity's formal objects refer to South Birmingham, but this is an authorised area of benefit rather than direct evidence of current delivery across South Birmingham.
- The organisation has collaborated with local organisations, including CircusMASH, and has worked with the University of Birmingham on a project; available evidence does not show that these partnerships create regular operational sites or a sustained delivery footprint outside Kings Heath.
- Some activities involve trips and residentials outside Birmingham, but these appear ancillary to a Kings Heath-based programme and do not demonstrate an additional Birmingham operational area.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual or impact report specifying participant home areas, referral sources or regular outreach locations.
- Current session timetables or programme documents stating whether any services are delivered at schools, community venues or partner premises beyond the All Saints Centre.
- Current partnership agreements or project information confirming whether partners host recurring All Saints services outside Kings Heath.

Observations
A broad community charity has become youth-centred
The available evidence suggests that the organisation has deliberately concentrated its direct work on young people and families, while older-people and community-catering work has moved into separate charities.
Why it matters
This helps distinguish the organisation’s current operating role from its wider legal history: it may be best understood as part of a local ecosystem of successor or sister organisations, not as a single provider of every service in its original remit.
Show evidence
“Over time, the work with older people and community catering have diverged into separate charities.”

Its model appears to join universal youth work with targeted support
The organisation appears to use youth activities and holiday schemes as part of a wider support model that also includes counselling, one-to-one work, family support and provision for people with additional needs.
Why it matters
This indicates that its value may lie less in any single activity than in its ability to identify and respond to connected needs across a young person’s family, wellbeing and inclusion.

Inclusion may be a distinctive organising principle
The organisation appears to position accessibility for young people with additional needs as central rather than peripheral, extending support beyond age 19 for those with learning disabilities and operating an Inclusion+ offer for adults.
Why it matters
This may make All Saints an important bridge at transition points where young people with disabilities can otherwise lose familiar relationships and accessible community participation.
