Joining hands with volunteers to care for our community

Lift up the voices of women, we change the world around us

Smart Citizens Foundation Overview

Our model combines the provision of essential support through our Warm welcome Space with practical assistance such as food boxes, creating a holistic approach to community care. We work closely with Birmingham City Council and local partners to identify and support those facing hardship, ensuring that our services reach those who need them most.

As we reflect on our journey, my heart is filled with gratitude for the extraordinary support
we’ve received from our volunteers, supporters, and dedicated team.

What Fuels Our Community Support

Social Isolation

Loneliness affects mental and emotional wellbeing, especially for the elderly. Our community spaces offer connection, conversation, and companionship.

Energy Costs

Rising utility bills are forcing families to choose between heating and eating. Our warm spaces help reduce this burden by offering safe, heated environments.

“When my heating broke down, I didn’t know where to turn. The Warm Welcome Space meant I had somewhere to stay warm with my two children for a few hours each day. The food box helped us through the worst week, and the volunteers helped me access emergency housing repair services.”

Mother of two, Sparkhill

“Living alone on a pension, the rising energy costs were frightening. Coming here three days a week has cut my heating bills, and the hot drinks and company mean more to me than I can say. It’s not just about staying warm – it’s about feeling part of something.”

Elderly resident, age 73

“As a single dad working part-time, the food box was a lifeline when my benefits were delayed. But what really helped me was the advice session – they helped me sort out my Universal Credit issues and now I’m in a better position.”

Single parent, Sparkbrook

Hate Crime Against Women Support

We proudly support many women affected by hate crimes, providing them with dedicated help and care.

What is a Hate Crime?

A hate crime is any act of violence, abuse, or hostility directed at someone because of who they are — such as their race, religion, gender, sexuality, or disability. For many women, this can include verbal threats, physical attacks, online abuse, or intimidation in public spaces.
