Birmingham Changing Futures Together launched

 
Birmingham Changing Futures Together project was officially launched on Friday 19th June. The project is funded via a national BIG Lottery funded programme, awarded to the collaborative partners of Shelter, SIFA Fireside and Birmingham Mind.

These organisations provide intensive support to individuals who have previously disengaged with services in Birmingham and who have multiple and complex needs across homelessness, mental health, substance misuse and/or offending behaviour.

The service provided focuses predominantly on “hard to reach” individuals. Key to their recovery are the “Experts by Experience”, who attract to the service and support individuals like them through their hardship, tough times, and recovery. The touching video below documents the stories of some of these kind and supportive individuals.
