Background
Nechells POD aims to address a wide variety of needs within the community. These include reducing isolation, improving mental and physical health, enhancing education and community integration. We achieve this through group and 1-2-1 support sessions, which we use to promote long-term change in a person’s life. We engage with those most in need of support within the community of Nechells. We develop their life skills, empower people to take control of their emotional and physical health through responsive and practical interventions. We actively work with over seventy partner organisations to support Nechells residents. We also have a bank of volunteers who support our activities and this is an area we would like to further develop.
