birmingham settlement
Birmingham
Founded in 1899, Birmingham Settlement is one of the oldest charities in
Birmingham. Part of a movement of social reform activists outraged by the plight
of the poor in the 19th century, originally Birmingham Settlement’s work
concentrated on providing support to women and families in the seriously
deprived St Mary’s area, now known as Newtown. Now our breadth of work is much
wider and reaches more communities in Birmingham. We are now based across
north-west Birmingham, with bases in Aston, Ladywood and Kingstanding. We work
in an ever changing environment, with new challenges to face, both as an
organisation and for our local communities. We adapt the way we work and the
services we provide to meet these challenges.
