About Us

About Us The Springfield Project

The Springfield Project is a charity based in Sparkhill, Birmingham. 

Born out of St Christopher’s Church, we believe that every child, young person, parent, and adult in our community has the right to reach their full potential in life.

Deprivation, social inequality, and a lack of local provision often create a barrier to our community achieving that potential- and many families in Sparkhill face hardship and isolation.

That is why we run a programme of community-based activities which empower, enable, and enrich the lives of hundreds of local children, young people, and families by removing the barriers to opportunity. At our base in the Springfield Centre connected to St Christophers Church, and at our Park Road site, we provide a range of services for local children and families to combat poverty and help people lead happy and healthy lives.

This is how we fulfil our mission to show God’s love in our community.

🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield 🌞 Summer Stay & Play Highlights at The Springfield Project last week 🌞 Startwell 

Last week, National Allotments Week, the European Athletics Championships, and National Plum Day gave families lots of opportunities to learn through play.

Children enjoyed growing cress, exploring a harvesting sensory box, completing obstacle courses, and taking part in plum tasting and printing activities. Parents were also introduced to 180 Katie, Fay 5 a Day, 2 Snacks Max, and Sammy Skills to support healthy eating and active play at home.

✨ Roti Reinvented – Zero Waste Cooking Class | 8.0 ✨ Roti Reinvented – Zero Waste Cooking Class | 8.09.26! ✨🥙

Celebrating Zero Waste Week 2026 – 7th to 11th September! ♻️

Bread and flatbreads are everyday staples, but these products are also among the most wasted foods in UK homes. In fact, we throw away around 960 tonnes of bread every single day!* 🍞

Join us for a fun, hands-on cooking class where we'll give leftover rotis a new lease of life and show just how versatile they can be!

Together we'll be making:
🥧 Mini quiches – using roti instead of pastry
🧀 Quesadillas – using roti as a tortilla wrap
Plus a sweet treat demo! 🍫

All recipes are family friendly and designed around using up leftovers and scraps, while showing creative ways to use everyday ingredients differently.

You'll pick up practical cooking skills, discover money-saving ideas and learn simple ways to make the most of the food you already have at home.

🌱 £1 to book
👩‍🍳 All ingredients provided
🤝 Meet local people and learn something new
♻️ Discover creative ways to reduce food waste

📆 Tuesday 8th September
🕐 12.30pm–2.30pm
📍 Springfield Project, The Springfield Centre, Springfield Road, Birmingham B13 9NY

This session is part of Building Greener Communities, funded by The National Lottery Community Fund, supporting people across Birmingham to take practical action for a greener, healthier and more sustainable future.

🌊🐠 National Marine Week, Play Day & Greek yoghurt 🌊🐠 National Marine Week, Play Day & Greek yoghurt with berries Day! 🎉 

At our Summer Play and Stay last week, we enjoyed lots of fun activities at our summer stay and play, celebrating the sea, the importance of play and healthy eating!

 Children explored marine-themed activities, got active with Active Azra, enjoyed music and movement, and took part in fun shopping and sensory games. 🦀🌊
We also had Greek yoghurt with berries Day, linking in Mickey Me Size and Fay Five a Day. 🍓🥣

A fun-filled time of learning, playing, moving and tasting! 💙
