Not at all! All who need help are welcome to Gas Street Hope.

During The Community Shop on Thursdays, we often have outside charities or groups come and provide drop-in support, such as the Community Support Worker from Birmingham City Council, housing support from Trident or Citizen, NHS Health and Wellbeing advice etc.
Alternatively, whilst our team are not trained in benefit and housing advice, we are happy to offer appointments to see how we may be able to help you or signpost you to the right places. -
We are a warm space registered both with Warm Welcome and Birmingham City Council.
