At The Springfield Project we host a range of activities and services for adults. As well as courses tailor-made for new parents, we have English classes, a cookery group and a range of drop-in advice and support sessions held weekly at our flagship community group, the Place of Welcome.
English classes are for complete beginners. The courses start afresh each term and aim to prepare adults to start accredited courses with local colleges.
The Place of Welcome is open to everyone every Wednesday, 1.30-3pm in term time and provides fellowship, food and social activities including cooking, knitting, crochet, colouring and pool.
The Cooking Group meets each Wednesday at 12.30pm to prepare and cook the hot meal together for the Place of Welcome.
We currently offer regular free legal advice and adult social care advice sessions, available on a drop-in basis at the Place of Welcome. There is no need to book, just come along to one of our Place of Welcome sessions, every Thursday during term time, between 1.30-3pm, at The Springfield Centre, Springfield Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 9NY.
We are proud that Place of Welcome is part of the National Warm Space network. During the winter months, we want to ensure everyone in Sparkhill has an open invitation to a warm and welcoming space so they can connect with others, get the support they need and feel part of their local community.
Volunteering is a great way to boost confidence and gain work skills. Contact Rosalyn for more information on [email protected] or call 0121 777 2722
