Join The Free Inclusive Basketball Sessions!

We’d love for you to come and get involved in our free inclusive basketball sessions happening across two local venues. These sessions are open to everyone—children, young people, families, and community members of all ages and abilities.

Whether you’ve played basketball before or you’re trying it for the first time, you’ll be welcomed, supported, and encouraged every step of the way.

Youth City Board – Have Your Say in Birmingham

The Youth City Board is a Birmingham Youth Service initiative that puts young people at the centre of decision-making. It gives young people aged 10–25 the chance to shape the services, strategies, and opportunities that affect their lives and their communities.

This is about real influence, not tokenism. Young people work alongside professionals and partners to co-design solutions, challenge systems, and make Birmingham a better place for young people to live, learn, and thrive.

We are diverse.
We are powerful.
We are ready.

Hosted by Resources for Autism with guests Catalyst4Change

Join the conversation for a relaxed, supportive meet-up designed for parents and carers of autistic children and young people. This friendly session offers a safe space to share experiences, talk openly, let off steam, and connect with others who understand.

About Catalyst4Change
