ALDI SHIRLEY

Our 0rganisation works with Men, Women, Young People, Elderly and The Homeless, by supporting them in all different areas, clothing, toiletries, personal hygiene, food items and providing them a hot drink and a meal. We are also starting up a Breakfast Club on Saturday, for the Elderly, and people from the disadvantaged group, due to the demand for something in the Birmingham area on Saturday mornings. And finally we are wanting to start up a foodbank for single mothers and fathers that have a partner in prison and are struggling to feed their families.

We are a community center located in the Billesley area of South Birmingham, open to the public from Monday to Friday. Our mission is to provide a safe and welcoming environment for all community members to enjoy. We offer a diverse range of activities and groups, alongside services managed by our dedicated volunteers. Our volunteers operate a weekly Food Pantry, Lunch Club, and Café to support the local community with the rising cost of living. They diligently sort and prepare food parcels and meals, ensuring consistent food provision. Each week, we serve our community by offering a variety of warm and welcoming services. During our food pantry sessions, community members can also access other essential items, such as clothing, shoes, and books, at no cost. Simply take what you need. Through our collaboration with Neighbourly food collections, we are proud to host a Community Surplus Day, which has greatly benefited our community. We remain committed to enhancing our services and facilities by utilizing surplus collections to support the community. Billesley Ark Volunteers is comprised of local residents committed to helping and supporting the community. Established in 2018 by the Malachi Community Trust, BAV was created as part of a pledge to Birmingham City Council to empower local residents to transition from service users to service providers within their own community.
