A revolution in the way that community and neighbourhood buildings are owned and managed is taking place. Supported by funding from Advantage West Midlands, Birmingham City Council has tested the process for transferring assets — in the form of community buildings — into community ownership and control.
Find out about the potential and pitfalls of asset transfer from other resident on a study visit that will look into what has been learned so far, and what the future holds for asset transfer. The study visit will go to Norton Hall Children and Family Centre in Saltley and, to Hutton Hall Community Centre in Washwood Heath.
