Ladywood

Ladywood contains one of Birmingham's richest civic ecosystems, with a concentration of charities working across homelessness, migration, faith, advice, culture and community development.

Observations

  • The ward contains a large number of charities, ranging from national organisations headquartered in the city centre to small neighbourhood groups.
  • Faith organisations appear to play a particularly important role in the local civic infrastructure.
  • Many organisations support people experiencing poverty, homelessness or displacement.

Worth exploring

  • Where are there opportunities for organisations working with refugees to collaborate more closely?
  • Which organisations are providing similar services but may not know about each other?
  • Are there important community needs that appear to have relatively little specialist provision?
