About Place of Welcome
“Place of Welcome” is the flagship of our Community Services. Typically attended by 40 people each week, it is a much valued resource in the Sparkhill community for local people to come together for fellowship, food and social activities including cooking, knitting, crochet, board games and pool.
Place of Welcome is held every Thursday during term time, 1.30-3.30pm at The Springfield Centre, Springfield Road, Moseley, Birmingham, B13 9NY.
We look forward to seeing you for free hot food and drinks, and friendly conversation. All welcome!
We are currently offering a free legal advice drop-in service at the Place of Welcome provided by Central England Law Centre. CELC uses its knowledge and legal expertise in social welfare law to protect the rights of those in need.
We also have Adult Social Care advisors from Birmingham City Council available for free advice sessions on a drop-in basis.
Contact us on 0121 777 2722 or email [email protected] with any questions.
The cooking group meets each Thursday at 12pm to prepare and cook the hot meal together. If you would like to join this friendly group, then come to the Springfield Centre at 12pm. Ingredients are provided and no experience is necessary. We welcome your ideas for recipes to try – we have enjoyed inspiring meals from all over the world.
We are proud to be a part of the national Warm Welcome scheme. 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.
