“I really enjoyed my visit to the POD and was truly impressed by the breadth and importance of the work that is being done . It was interesting to see such an exciting model of community support that works across such a wide age group and with diverse communities. The feedback from community members celebrated the work of The POD, highlighting the impact on wellbeing, community cohesion and social inclusion. Statutory and voluntary organisations who offer support and activities at The POD commented on the warm and welcoming environment which facilitated excellent community work. The POD is an outstanding project which offers a safe haven in the heart of Nechells and I was able to experience this myself during my visit.” Stephen Hughes
