South Birmingham Sports Village Ltd
Charity 1165350
Overview
Summary
South Birmingham Sports Village Ltd appears to have been conceived as a place-based civic infrastructure organisation: using facilities and activities around Billesley Common to connect sport, health, youth development, inclusion and environmental stewardship. Its objects suggest a broad social-welfare model rather than a conventional sports provider. However, its current dormant status means the available evidence describes intended capacity and mission more clearly than its present contribution or relationships.

Evidence and reasoning
Supporting evidence
Remaining uncertainties
- There is no direct evidence that the charity is currently delivering services, operating facilities or running activities in any area. Its Charity Commission record states that it is currently dormant and reports £0 income and £0 expenditure for the year ended 30 June 2025.
- Billesley Common is the organisation's stated historical and intended focus, but this does not establish current operation there while the organisation is dormant.
- The address appearing in both charity and company records does not, on available evidence, show that it is a current operational site rather than a registered or correspondence address. The Charity Commission record says the charity does not own or lease land or property.
- No evidence was found of current delivery partnerships, projects, venues or services that establish the organisation's operational reach.
Additional evidence needed
- A current statement from the charity confirming whether dormant status has changed and identifying any active programmes, facilities or delivery locations.
- The latest filed company accounts or confirmation statement, if available, showing whether any operational activity resumed after 30 June 2025.
- Current evidence from Moseley RFC or another venue operator confirming whether South Birmingham Sports Village Ltd independently operates any activity or facilities at Billesley Common.

Observations
A multi-purpose community asset model
The organisation appears designed to use sport and recreation as a shared platform for wider social inclusion, health and life-development outcomes, particularly for people facing barriers to participation.
Why it matters
This indicates that its potential role is broader than delivering sports sessions. It may have been positioned to connect facility access with youth support, disability inclusion and community wellbeing.

Billesley Common is central to its intended identity
The organisation appears to be anchored not only to a neighbourhood but to a particular shared outdoor asset, combining its use for recreation with responsibility for its natural environment.
Why it matters
This may make the organisation a potential bridge between sports, community use of public space and environmental groups—an unusual combination that could support partnerships not normally associated with a sports organisation.
Show evidence
“The organisation was established to provide sporting, recreational and environmental services in and around Billesley Common.”
Source:Organisation“Its objects include conserving, protecting and improving the physical and natural environment in and around Billesley Common by promoting biological diversity and public education.”

A significant gap between mission and current operating position
The organisation retains an expansive remit, but its dormant status suggests that this capacity is currently inactive or untested in practice. It is therefore unclear whether it remains a viable delivery body, a dormant asset-holding vehicle, or a mission awaiting renewal.
Why it matters
Understanding this distinction is important before treating the organisation as a current community resource or potential partner. Its charitable scope may represent unrealised local infrastructure rather than active provision.
Show evidence
“The organisation is currently dormant.”
Source:Organisation“Its charitable purposes cover recreation, health, disability, amateur sport, environmental conservation and youth development.”

- Why the organisation is dormant, how long this has been the case and whether reactivation is intended.
- Whether it owns, manages or has access to facilities or land around Billesley Common.
- Which organisations, public bodies or community groups it has previously worked with.
- Whether its environmental and sports purposes were ever delivered together in practice.
Remaining uncertainties
- Recent trustee reports, accounts and filings explaining dormancy, assets and future plans.
- Evidence of past programmes, facility agreements, beneficiaries and partnerships around Billesley Common.
- Information from local stakeholders about current needs, existing providers and whether the organisation's remit fills a gap.
