Page%2%of%17% Introduction The Cotteridge Church is an Anglican, Methodist and United Reformed Church Local Ecumenical Project in South Birmingham and is a busy seven day a week church well known in the area as the heart of the community. Our ministerial team previously comprised one Anglican minister, who also works with Young Ethnic Minorities within the Diocese, one Methodist minister with responsibility for two other Methodist Churches, one URC minister with another church and further synod responsibilities in the city, plus an Anglican non-stipendiary minister who work together alongside Lay Preachers and volunteers. The ministers meet regularly to agree areas of work, make Future plans and support general outreach in the community. We are now looking to combine the previous part time Methodist and URC posts into a single post, full time (if possible) which will represent both denominations. The prospective Minister should have experience oF inclusive ecumenical and team work, either inside or outside the Church, with an open theological approach, including a commitment to the use and development of our joint liturgy. S/he must also have an understanding of and empathy for collaborative work and be a positive spiritual influence in worship, pastoral care and education of the congregation, volunteers and the community. The dynamic of the church has changed recently, losing one long-standing minister to retirement and two ministers being called to new areas in quick succession. This has been challenging and we now look forward to a time of stability and spiritual growth. The busy cafe (3C’s - Cotteridge Church Café) is a centre for outreach in the community, external groups and organisations. Open six days a week and staffed entirely by volunteers, it provides light meals and snacks. Hot meals cooked on the premises by church catering employees are also provided on week days. This is a vital part of church work and visibility in the community, oFFering welcome and sustenance of all kinds to everyone who comes through our doors. The church also has an Older Adults Centre, employing 4 full time staff, which cares for elderly folk by providing a range of daily activities, promoting independence and well-being. Overall, The Cotteridge Church employs 8 part time staff including an Administrator who co- ordinates much oF the day to day business of the church. A large number of people cross the threshold for a variety of reasons and the desire to feed them not only physically but spiritually is strong. A very successful recent venture is The B30 Food Bank in conjunction with The Trussell Trust. Volunteers from Churches Together in B30 and many more from the community, work together feeding people referred to the Food Bank by outside agencies. At the last count the usual Sunday Attendance figure For those aged 16 and over was 141 with 24 under 16. The current membership role numbers 198. The church has a membership list, but this does not cover all the worshipping community as some attendees are not members. Last Easter there were 154 worshippers with 212 at Christmas. Page 3 of 17 Our Mission Statement We seek to: Serve by meeting the needs of the community Proclaim the Gospel, respect beliefs and encourage dialogue Reconcile by breaking down barriers and healing others’ hurts Celebrate good things through openness in worship and belieF ( 1985) The Congregational Meeting As an ecumenical project, the Congregational Meeting is a Forum For all Church Members to play a role in the development oF the Church. This meeting takes place 3 times a year. We have experimented with holding this meeting at various times, including after Sunday services, to increase the involvement of the congregation in the Future direction of The Cotteridge Church. The Joint Church Council (JCC) The governing body of the church is made up oF elected members oF the church, each oF whom is appointed For a three year period oF service. Some members oF JCC also serve on other committees who report to and are answerable to JCC. Finance and Property and Older Adults Care Services are permanent committees. Occasionally JCC sets up new committees to oversee certain projects e.g. Image, Governance and the StafFing Consultative Group. The ofFice of Chair rotates on an annual basis and until now has been a member of the clergy. Finance The main Financial resource is From Congregational giving and GiFt Aid refunds. Other income comes From room hire, catering, Book Centre, Traidcraft, Annual Fairs and other activities. The Cotteridge Church is registered For VAT. We aim to give away 10% of donated income to agreed charities, including missionary societies. Other funds are raised For speciFic projects at home and abroad and appeals For world disasters. Appendix 1 gives a summary of the 2014- 2015 accounts. Page 4 of 17 Governance Priorities 2015 We are currently looking at Four priorities. Older Adults: how can we care for those vulnerable members of our community? The Older Adults Care Services, with Full time paid stafF, is undergoing a change in its service to the community. Negotiations are underway for a part-time paid Older Adult Pastoral Worker to be appointed with a view to increasing this work and aligning it with our mission. Spiritual Growth: how can we grow in faith as a congregation of God’s people? In a recent survey the congregation asked speciFically for more spiritual support and guidance, especially Following a period oF change. Many oF our volunteers do not attend any church, not necessarily because they have no spiritual aspirations, but because they do not see a role For conventional “church”. Our vision for the Future is to encourage and support all our communities in their spiritual growth. The Young People: how can we develop and nurture our young people’s walk with Christ? What is our church of the Future going to look like? We have a healthy number of young people who attend our Junior and Senior Church and beyond. How do we keep and grow with them? Governance: how can we structure our work to be more effective and efficient? We are continuing to bring our working practices, policies and procedures into a more coherent Framework which underpins our mission. It is not anticipated that the minister will attend every group!

  • Equality and Diversity in Parks 2019/2020
    Equality and Diversity in Parks 2019/20 Everyone should have access to good green spaces irrespective of age, disability, gender, sexual orientation, race, religion or belief. The work of the Birmingham Parks Service seeks to promote social inclusion, health and community safety. The Parks Service aims to support community involvement through volunteering work, providing local and national events in parks and asking for local opinions through satisfaction surveys, Friends and partners meetings, conferences and local feedback on projects. Here are some examples of the community work and projects that Parks are involved with to promote equality and diversity in Parks: Volunteering with the City Farm at Sheldon Country Park The Ranger Service continues to place disability volunteers with the farm to assist with gardening projects, maintaining the kitchen gardens and animal care. Green spaces, with onsite staff teams, can be particularly useful environments for a person with social care needs to learn and develop. In 2019/20 the farm offered on average a total of at least 42 volunteer work days each week, with at least 14 of those days being specifically with volunteers who have a physical or learning disability. The farm also continues to create opportunities for specialist schools and colleges to place students on work experience. In 2019/20 the farm staff worked with at least 20 students from Rodbaston college and Solihull College, providing work experience placements and access to formal NVQ level 2& 3 courses in animal management. The Old Rectory Farm also engages with outside organisations, such as Bacons End Care Home, to provide students with severe lifelong disabilities the chance to learn about farm animals and horticulture providing the opportunity for these students to offer meaningful help in return.

  • Tree Planting
    Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 1 Annual Review 2010 / 2011 The Birmingham Civic Society Annual Report 2011 12/8/11 16:04 Page 2 Message from Paul Farrow Chairman of the Trees Committee of The Birmingham Civic Society I am delighted to present Birmingham Trees for Life’s report on the fifth year of its activities. I have enjoyed taking over the role from Rob Blyth, my predecessor – a difficult act to follow! This planting season saw 144 large trees, 4890 saplings and 40 fruit trees planted at 20 sites. Over the five year period we have planted nearly 15,000 trees on almost 100 sites – a magnificent addition to Birmingham’s green canopies. This has only been possible due to the support of Birmingham City Council and once again thanks are due to Councillor Mullaney, who as the Cabinet Member responsible for Leisure, Sport and Culture, has been instrumental in ensuring that financial support continues. Our thanks also to other Councillors and the Leader of the Council too, who attended a number of the 21 plantings held during this year. My gratitude also goes to the members of my Trees Committee who have given up their spare time voluntarily to promote our programme and get muddy tree planting. To mark the planting of our 10,000th tree a special planting event was held in Chinn Brook Meadows in the Billesley Ward of Councillor Len Gregory and his wife, who attended officially as the Lord and Lady Mayoress of Birmingham. We are grateful for their enthusiastic support, involvement and interest in the organisation throughout their year in office and hope this connection will continue in the future; Cllr Gregory was influential in the setting up of BTFL.

  • Investigating the Role of Social Media and Smart Device Applications in Understanding Human-Environment Relationships in Urban Green Spaces
    INVESTIGATING THE ROLE OF SOCIAL MEDIA AND SMART DEVICE APPLICATIONS IN UNDERSTANDING HUMAN-ENVIRONMENT RELATIONSHIPS IN URBAN GREEN SPACES by HELEN VICTORIA ROBERTS A thesis submitted to the University of Birmingham for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY School of Geography, Earth and Environmental Sciences College of Life and Environmental Sciences University of Birmingham February 2018 University of Birmingham Research Archive e-theses repository This unpublished thesis/dissertation is copyright of the author and/or third parties. The intellectual property rights of the author or third parties in respect of this work are as defined by The Copyright Designs and Patents Act 1988 or as modified by any successor legislation. Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. Abstract Urban green spaces are integral components of urban landscapes and the cultural ecosystem services afforded to human populations by these green spaces are of particular relevance to human and societal well-being. Urban green spaces provide opportunities for human interaction, physical activity and recreation, stress alleviation and mental restoration, economic opportunity, cultural activities and interactions with nature. To understand how these benefits are received by human populations it is vital to understand when and how individuals interact with urban green spaces. The rapid development and uptake of technologies such as smart phones, social networks and apps provides new opportunity to investigate the human interactions occurring in urban green spaces. Using the city of Birmingham as a case study, this thesis aims (i) to demonstrate the utility of data obtained from smart device enabled platforms (social networks and apps) in understanding socio- ecological interactions in urban areas and (ii) to evaluate the utility of these data sources for researchers and policy makers.

  • Annual Review 2019 / 2020
    Annual Review 2019 / 2020 The Birmingham Civic Society Message from Geoff Cole Chairman, Birmingham Trees for Life The end of the 2019-20 planting season proved to be a strange one as the last few events had to be cancelled due to the coronavirus lockdown, but although the season was cut short that did not mean that we didn’t have a successful year of involvement, engagement and planting trees! Cllr. Mohammed Azim, our Council Member, was Lord Mayor for the year so we welcomed Cllr. Diane Donaldson part way through the year as his ‘stand-in’. We were also delighted to welcome a new member of the freelance team – Justine Marklew joined BTFL in August 2019 as our new Communications and Liaison person, and she has succeeded in enlivening our social media presence and gaining many more followers through the last few months, as well as promoting the involvement of school children at our events. We were thrilled that Birmingham was declared a ‘Tree City of the World’ in early 2020, a testament to the amount of work the Council, and community groups such as BTFL and the Birmingham Tree People (Tree Wardens) have put in over recent years. This is just one step in the city’s continuing journey towards a sustainable ‘urban forest’, so essential to the health and well-being of its citizens and the wider environment. In the second year of our grant from the HS2 Community Environment Fund, we were pleased to welcome staff from HS2 to one of our events, which was just down the road from the site of the new station.

This report of that work has been written with a number of very different audiences in mind: ➡ Individuals who want to know how to get involved in growing food ➡ Organisations or individuals who want to start a food growing project and want to learn from a successful one in action ➡ Organisations who want to find out who else is doing what so they can learn and share ➡ Researchers interested in the field who want to know where to start ➡ Policy and decision makers interested in community food growing and how it may benefit the population It demonstrates the glorious variety of organisations and individuals growing food in and around Birmingham and has begun an important analysis of the similarities and differences among them. In addition, the detailed descriptions of food growing places and the accounts of the interviews with the people involved give life to to all this information we’ve gleaned and, I would argue, show what’s really going on. It’s important we take on board what we’ve found out, and regularly update our knowledge. A lot of time, energy and money can be wasted by new projects being started rather then existing work being supported. Some projects survive thanks to the commitment of a few unpaid, all-to-often unsung individuals, leaving the project vulnerable to sheer exhaustion or volunteer life changes.
