SIFA Fireside

Who we are

We Are SIFA Fireside: the charity which stands by the people of Birmingham who are facing, at risk of, or in recovery from the effects of homelessness.  Anyone can become unhappy, depressed, addicted, homeless, destitute or at risk.

 SIFA Fireside provides an ever-evolving range of responsive homeless support services so that people can rebuild their lives in safety and with dignity.  These include :-

 Our Digbeth support centre enables clients’ basic needs to be met, all of the time. We can provide a ‘care of’ postal address, safe document storage and access to a range of health services including a nurse, optician, chiropractor, podiatrist and mental health support.  We also offer hot meals, showers and clean clothes to anyone who is rough sleeping or in need of emergency support, as well as food parcels, conversations and an internet connection.

 SIFA Fireside is also part of a consortium set up to focus on women’s rough sleeping, with the emphasis on creating a pathway model for prevention, crisis and recovery.  We engage in outreach and specific services which enable vulnerable women to see SIFA Fireside as a safe space in which to rebuild their lives with dignity.
