Community Care Foundation Birmingham

Community Care Foundation Birmingham Ltd, a Company Limited by Guarantee (CCF), is dedicated to improve the life prospects of individuals residing in Birmingham, with a specific focus on those of Somaliland, Somalia descent, Ethiopia, and other members from the Horn of Africa. Although the general public, refugees, asylum seekers, children born in Britain to Somali parents, British nationals, and inhabitants from several EU member states are our main beneficiaries, our dedication to inclusivity is unwavering.

Our primary goal is to provide a free, unbiased, private, and bilingual information, advice, and guidance service in both languages. Beyond the Somali community, this service reaches out to a diverse range of people dealing with a wide range of issues, including housing, ESOL, liaising with relevant local service providers, CV writing, employment form completion, landlord disputes, hospital appointments, translation and interpretation, and translation. We also provide young employment training as part of our complete support, which helps people locate appropriate employment possibilities. Our committed staffs keep working nonstop to support our clients in spite of the major changes brought about by the coronavirus epidemic.

Our guiding principle is the conviction that youth should be given the tools they need to create better futures for themselves. Through sports-themed personal development programs, Community Care Foundation Birmingham helps young people make the transition into long-term education, training, and employment.

Our community centre, conveniently located in the midst of the Small Heath Somali community, features well-equipped computer rooms as well as a large general training/meeting room suitable for a range of activities. Both local Somali inhabitants and the general public are becoming more and more receptive to our customized programs, especially those in information technology delivered through online courses. By giving them access to free instruction, training, and opportunities for personal growth, we hope to uplift the Somali community and strengthen their capacities. We place a high premium on teaching English for Speakers of Other Languages (ESOL) since we understand that a large segment of the Somali community in Birmingham faces language challenges.

Our centre provides children and young people with free after-school activities in addition to education and training. In addition to helping them with their homework and offering a variety of indoor and outdoor recreational opportunities, these activities also help students develop their self-confidence and self-esteem.
