The Next Five Years of Development

A series of Development Plans has been produced to promote the growth and improvement of St. Paul’s work.

This one replaces that which ran from 2003-2008. All have aimed at enabling the organisation to make a greater contribution to the regeneration of Balsall Heath and adjacent deprived inner-City neighbourhoods. Our founders wanted to bring useful services to a part of the City where children and families were often living in poverty, when Balsall Heath itself was described as a slum and vice area.

It is still a necessary task to close the huge gap between our neighbourhood and more prosperous ones. The Trust delivers a variety of services, setting itself the challenge of meeting local needs better than other providers, at standards embodying the values Trustees have adopted.
