The Care Centre is a place where I can see good in people, when I least expect it, hidden in there between people’s problems. Staff and volunteers are always welcoming every week and that never changes, that’s the difference.

I had no furniture for myself so I needed some help from the City Mission to help me start my flat. It means a lot to me.
Resource Centre client
The kids that went loved GSUS Live and the kids that didn't wished they had.
Head of RE
North Birmingham Academy
We work with the Resource Centre quite often and they're brilliant with residents with no furniture. When you're going through difficult times you need to know people care and respect how you think and feel.
Support Worker
I feel lighter after coming here. It seems as if my burdens are lifted.

It’s a place where I feel wanted.

A thoroughly enjoyable time was had by my group. They were kept interested and motivated the whole session and learnt a great deal.

School hosting the RE Exhibition
I knew that the Resource Centre was a ‘cornerstone’, doing the real job of meeting the basic needs of the city’s poorest people, and I was thankful for all I’d received here myself.
Resource Centre client & volunteer
We can’t get the comfort and prayers and help anywhere else. We get it straightaway here, without queuing up or making an appointment. Without you I’ll be back in the jungle.
Care Centre client
There's a great variety of backgrounds and cultures coming to the club and they all value the chance to ask questions and share their views.
