Home-Start Birmingham Tameside
Charity 1111894
Overview
Summary
Home-Start Birmingham Tameside appears to be a highly localised early-intervention family-support organisation. Its role is not defined by a single issue: it combines child safeguarding, parental wellbeing, poverty relief, child-care education and disability-related support through home visiting. The available evidence suggests that it works at the point where pressures on parents can affect young children’s health, safety and development, using sustained, relationship-based support within Tyburn Ward rather than a broad borough-wide service.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Bordesley Green
Confidence: high
Direct current organisational evidence identifies Bordesley Green as an area where the charity supports families.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The page states that Home-Start Birmingham Tameside currently supports families across Bordesley Green, Hodge Hill, Shard End, Tyburn and Washwood Heath, using locally trained volunteers who provide practical and emotional support in families' homes.
Shard End
Confidence: high
Direct current organisational evidence identifies Shard End as an area where the charity supports families.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The page states that Home-Start Birmingham Tameside currently supports families across Bordesley Green, Hodge Hill, Shard End, Tyburn and Washwood Heath, through home-based volunteer support.
Castle Vale
Confidence: low
The charity lists a current contact address in Castle Vale, but a contact address alone does not establish operational activity in the ward.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The charity lists a contact address in Castle Vale. - Birmingham City Council, Castle Vale ward information
Council information identifies Castle Vale as a ward.
Pype Hayes
Confidence: low
The organisation directly identifies Tyburn as a current support area, but the supplied evidence does not establish service delivery in Pype Hayes ward.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The page states that the charity currently supports families across Tyburn. - Local Government Boundary Commission for England, Birmingham electoral review
The Commission records that Birmingham's revised ward arrangements took effect for the May 2018 elections.
Bromford and Hodge Hill
Confidence: low
The organisation directly names Hodge Hill as a current support area, but the supplied evidence does not establish service delivery in Bromford and Hodge Hill ward.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The page states that the charity currently supports families across Hodge Hill. - Local Government Boundary Commission for England, Birmingham electoral review
The Commission records that Birmingham's revised ward arrangements took effect for the May 2018 elections.
Heartlands
Confidence: low
The organisation directly identifies Washwood Heath as a current support area, but the supplied evidence does not establish service delivery in Heartlands ward.
- Home-Start Birmingham Tameside, official Home-Start Birmingham consortium page
The page states that the charity currently supports families across Washwood Heath. - Local Government Boundary Commission for England, Birmingham electoral review
The Commission records that Birmingham's revised ward arrangements took effect for the May 2018 elections.
Remaining uncertainties
- The organisation's current service-area statement uses older or locality-based names, including Tyburn, Hodge Hill and Washwood Heath, rather than all current Birmingham ward names. The available evidence does not establish whether these correspond to Pype Hayes, Bromford and Hodge Hill, or Heartlands wards.
- The available evidence establishes that volunteers support families in their homes across the listed localities, but does not identify additional venues for counselling, debt or budgeting advice, targeted support, or family groups.
- The charity lists a current contact address in Castle Vale, but the evidence does not confirm whether it is a dedicated Home-Start service-delivery venue or whether all listed services operate there.
- Home-Start Birmingham is a citywide consortium of six separate charities. Its consortium-wide citywide aspiration and shared information site should not be read as evidence that Home-Start Birmingham Tameside itself operates across all Birmingham wards.
- No evidence reviewed identified a partnership that materially extends this individual charity's operational footprint beyond its stated local support areas.
Additional evidence needed
- A current referral or service-area map from Home-Start Birmingham Tameside using post-2018 Birmingham ward boundaries.
- The charity's latest trustees' annual report or impact report, showing referral origins, home-visiting locations, group venues and targeted-support delivery locations.
- Confirmation from the charity of which services are delivered at its Castle Vale contact address and any other regular delivery sites.
- Current information on any commissioned programmes or formal partnerships that assign the charity responsibility for additional neighbourhoods.

Discoveries involving this organisation
The Atlas has not published any Discoveries involving this organisation yet.
Observations
Early childhood is the organisation’s strategic entry point
The organisation appears to focus on strengthening family circumstances before difficulties become more entrenched, by supporting households with at least one child under five.
Why it matters
This helps explain why health, safeguarding, poverty and parenting education sit together: the organisation may be addressing interconnected risks during a formative period for children and parents.

Home visiting may be its distinctive operating model
Delivering support in families’ homes may indicate an approach designed to reach people who face practical, social or confidence-related barriers to engaging with centre-based services.
Why it matters
This suggests the organisation’s value may lie partly in accessibility and trusted relationships, rather than only in the advice or services it provides.

The organisation spans problems usually handled separately
Its stated remit suggests it may act as a bridge between child protection, health, disability, poverty and parenting support rather than treating these as isolated needs.
Why it matters
This broad remit may make the organisation particularly relevant where families need coordinated, whole-household support and clearer routes into other assistance.
