THE SPRINGFIELD PROJECT

Who we are

We are a charity based in the heart of Sparkhill, Birmingham that stems from St Christophers Church Springfield. We provide a range of services and programmes which aim to combat poverty and help people to lead happy and healthy lives.

Our culture and values

Our Values:

Our values define how we deliver our services. In seeking to show God’s love in the community, we expect all who represent the Springfield Project to share our values:

Welcoming and Inclusive:

We seek to provide a safe space for our community where all are welcome. We embrace diversity, celebrating the way in which people of different faiths or no faith can work together to bring about positive change in the lives of individuals and the community. We treat all who come to the Project with respect and warmth and recognise each person as an individual.

Listening:

We recognise and value the unique insights and experiences of members of our community. We seek to ensure that the views of all those who have an interest in the Project inform the continuous development of our services.

Serving:

We seek to contribute to the transformation of the lives of individuals, families and the wider community. We show compassion in our work, and strive to meet people at their point of need. We seek to get alongside people to share their stories, and offer support.

Professional:

Our community deserves the best we can give them, therefore we recruit professionally qualified staff on the basis of their skills, knowledge and experience. We welcome and value the contribution of our trained volunteers who greatly enhance our services. We have policies and procedures in place to help us achieve our aims and objectives.

Growing:

We look for the best in people and seek to empower them to use their strengths to take charge of their own lives and to support others. We are all on a journey of life-long learning. We learn through our daily life and work, as well as through discussion, reflection, practice and education. We accept mistakes and apologies, and encourage others by showing change and growth in ourselves.
