WHO WE ARE

Through our welcoming space and hands-on support—like providing food boxes—we take a complete and compassionate approach to community wellbeing. 

The mission and goals of our organization

Our mission is to provide warmth, welcome, and vital support to women in Birmingham who are facing crisis or vulnerability. Whether experiencing poverty, abuse, mental health struggles, or social isolation, we stand beside them with open hearts and practical help. From access to essential resources like food, clothing, and shelter to emotional support, training, and empowerment programmes, we are committed to walking with women through their journeys — helping them regain confidence, stability, and hope.

Together, we are creating a better uture.

Smart Citizens Charitable Foundation (SCCF) operates from our community centre at 52 Chesterton Road in the heart of Birmingham. As a community-focused charitable organisation, we serve the diverse communities of Sparkhill and Sparkbrook, with our services primarily run by local women who understand the needs of our community.

To educate, empower, and engage women to become informed citizens, digital leaders, and active participants in their communities — by providing access to knowledge, technology, mentorship, and civic opportunities.
This mission captures four key goals:
  • Educate – Build awareness of rights, responsibilities, and opportunities
  • Empower – Promote confidence, skills, and leadership among women
  • Engage – Encourage participation in civic, social, and digital spaces
  • Enable – Provide tools, training, and networks to drive real impact

To create a society where every woman is an empowered, informed, and active citizen —
driving positive change through knowledge, innovation, and civic leadership.

This vision reflects a commitment to:
  • Empowerment through education and technology
  • Active citizenship and participation in civic life
  • Leadership in community and national development
  • Innovation for solving real-world challenges

To build a strong network of knowledgeable, digitally skilled, and socially responsible women who lead change in their communities and contribute actively to national development.

This goal emphasizes:
  • Digital literacy and smart skills
  • Civic awareness and engagement
  • Community leadership
  • National impact through women’s participation
