Matty’s Place is registered limited company formed to provide self sufficient accommodation for vulnerable groups with a focus on the homeless. Each placement will be supported with additional care and support for the service user to meet their individual needs. Aimed at vulnerable adults aged 18 and over, Matty’s place will actively support and promote community cohesion and well-being through education and training. Matty’s Place plans to offer dynamic, unique and constantly evolving programs and services that will benefit service users in a productive way to empower independent living and social inclusion. Matty’s Place Limited is projecting to have 30 fully furbished properties accommodated by the end of 2020. At present we have ten properties accommodated through alternative housing schemes. A further five are available to be let immediately and access to at least fifteen more by the end of the year has been agreed subject to terms. Matty’s Place has direct links with letting agents and landlords willing to use investment property towards our social housing mission. With access to a large number of private rented properties, Matty’s Place is in a fine position to deliver a much needed service where the demand is increasingly high. Surplus donations from stores such as Aldi and Lidl can prove to be very valuable to us as we are supporting over 120 service users and they are always in need of supplies due to their unfortunate circumstances.

We are a Community hub providing financial resilience and wellbeing support for women. We offer services, financial information, guidance and support for households affected by or/and facing financial exclusion, poverty and debt in Birmingham. We help household's on their journey to becoming financially confident when managing their everyday finances. We want communities to know how to access financial support as a prevention and not just when in a financial crisis. We offer the skills and knowledge to build financial resilience through the delivery of our Financial Capability workshop and 1-2-1 peer support. In October 2022 we decided to start a foodbank, the number of referrals we did to external agencies was very high, so we decided to offer this as a direct service. We deliver the food parcels once a week to the local community and receive referrals from external agency's in Ladywood for emergency food parcels.
