Hall Green Youth
Charity 1120565
Overview
Summary
Hall Green Youth appears to be a locally rooted youth-support charity whose role is defined more by place and developmental purpose than by a clearly specified programme offer. Its charitable objects combine leisure, education and Christian principles, while its public-facing description emphasises youth workers delivering support services. This suggests a potentially relationship-based local model, but the available evidence does not yet show which needs it prioritises, how it works with other organisations, or the scale and reach of its activity.
Operational geography
Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Hall Green North
Confidence: high
The organisation's current website identifies two recurring, place-based activities: Just Chill at the Church of the Ascension, Hall Green, and weekly mentoring at Hall Green Secondary School. Birmingham City Council sources identify Hall Green Secondary School as being in Hall Green North.
- Hall Green Youth website — Just Chill Group
States that the weekly Just Chill community support group takes place at the Church Hall at the Church of the Ascension, Hall Green. - Hall Green Youth website — Hall Green Secondary Mentoring
States that one-to-one mentoring takes place at Hall Green Secondary School every Thursday during term time. - Birmingham City Council — Hall Green North Ward Action Plan 2022–2026
Identifies Hall Green Secondary School among the schools and organisations in Hall Green North. - Birmingham City Council — Church of the Ascension Hall Green directory record
Identifies the Church of the Ascension as being in Hall Green.
Billesley
Confidence: high
The organisation's website describes a current weekly mentoring programme at Christ Church Secondary Academy, and Birmingham City Council's school directory assigns that school to Billesley ward.
- Hall Green Youth website — Christ Church Secondary Mentoring
States that one-to-one mentoring for pupils takes place at Christ Church Secondary Academy every Tuesday during term time. - Birmingham City Council — Christ Church, Church of England Secondary Academy directory record
Identifies its ward as Billesley.
Brandwood and Kings Heath
Confidence: medium
The organisation's website describes a weekly mentoring programme at Wheelers Lane Technology College. Public council planning material places the college in Brandwood and Kings Heath, but the ward-location confirmation is less current and direct than for the other two school sites.
- Hall Green Youth website — Wheelers Lane Mentoring
States that one-to-one mentoring for pupils takes place at Wheelers Lane Technology College every Wednesday during term time. - Birmingham City Council — Wheelers Lane schools planning application record
Identifies Wheelers Lane Technology School as being in Brandwood and King's Heath ward.
Remaining uncertainties
- The evidence supports recurring delivery at four venues across three adjacent wards, but it does not establish how many young people are served in each location or whether all programmes remain active throughout the year.
- Hall Green Youth's stated identity and core focus remain Hall Green, including the Gospel Oak estate, but the available evidence does not identify a separate current service venue on the estate.
- The registered-office/correspondence address is not treated as an operational site because no evidence shows service delivery there.
- The website says that community-based mentoring has been offered in the past when capacity allowed; this is not sufficient evidence of a current additional operational area.
- The three Anglican churches and the three schools materially support the organisation's local reach through governance, venue access or school-based delivery, but the available evidence does not show further current delivery locations through those relationships.
Additional evidence needed
- A current annual report or service-delivery timetable confirming active programmes, participant numbers and venue use for the present reporting year.
- A current statement from Hall Green Youth confirming whether it delivers any outreach, detached youth work or community mentoring beyond the named church and school sites.
- Current venue or partner confirmation from Wheelers Lane Technology College to corroborate the continuing mentoring arrangement and exact ward location.
- Evidence identifying whether Gospel Oak estate activity currently involves a regular delivery site or is reached through the Hall Green-based programmes.

Observations
A place-based youth organisation with a broad developmental remit
The organisation appears designed to support young people across multiple aspects of development within Hall Green and surrounding districts, rather than around a single issue such as education, sport or mental health.
Why it matters
This broad remit may enable Hall Green Youth to identify needs that fall between specialist services. It also makes its actual priorities and referral relationships especially important to understand.
Show evidence
“The area of benefit is Hall Green in Birmingham and its surrounding districts.”
Source:Charity Commission“Its objects include developing young people's physical, mental, emotional or spiritual capacities.”

Youth workers may be the organisation's core delivery mechanism
The available evidence suggests that Hall Green Youth delivers support through people-based youth work, potentially making trusted relationships and local presence central to its operating model.
Why it matters
If youth workers are central, the organisation may hold informal knowledge of young people's circumstances and local service gaps that is not visible in formal datasets or specialist provision.

Christian principles shape the formal mission, but their practical role is unclear
Christian principles are embedded in the charity's governing purpose, yet the public description frames the organisation in general terms as support for young people. This may indicate an inclusive service offer with a faith-informed ethos, but the evidence cannot establish this.
Why it matters
Understanding whether faith affects access, partnerships or programme design would clarify the organisation's position within Hall Green's wider youth-support ecosystem.
Show evidence
“Its recreational and leisure objects are to be pursued in accordance with Christian principles.”
