The Hall Green Families Support Directory provides regularly updated information about free support for children, young people and families. This support covers many areas including parenting, mental health, debt and food support among others.
We are constantly learning about new groups and services. If you find we are missing information please get in touch by emailing us at hallgreen.families@greensquareaccord.co.uk and we can work together to put that right.
Please see below Family Hubs and Birmingham Children’s Trust new ‘Parenting Directory’ – here to take all of the guesswork out of finding the right parenting intervention for the families we support!
The Parenting Directory will provide practitioners with a description of each online and in-person course within the Family Hubs Best Start for Life parenting offer and within Birmingham Children’s Trust targeted parenting offer. The description include course content, an outline of the modules, length of the programme as well as links to introductory/explanatory videos and information leaflets for professionals and parents (where available).
Please download our food provision directory, where we have compiled information found on Food Justice Network currently for Hall Green locality. On there, we have captured information on where families in-need can access food.
Hall Green Families have also put together two flyers that highlight resources and support available to all Birmingham residents. One that can be accessed city-wide and another that includes organisations specific to the Hall Green locality. They were designed to ensure organisations have appropriate support information on hand to offer help to families and vulnerable adults. They are also a helpful tool for everybody to use freely. Feel free to print these off and share via social media, or with your colleagues, and those you feel may benefit from this information.
