Please support this petition. Save this centre for SEND families
⤠SEND Socials are trying to save Halescroft Centre. After 8 years of not having a home, we want to finally build one.ā¤
For years, SEND families in Birmingham have been fighting for safe, accessible spaces. Places where our children can be themselves, where parents feel supported, and where community isnāt an afterthought but the foundation.
For eight years, weāve carried our community from borrowed rooms, hired halls, loaned spaces and weāve made it work. We are genuinely grateful for every venue that has opened its doors to us. But oh, how we would love a place to call our own. A place where we can do more, for more of the time. A place where we can finally set up permanent, purposeābuilt spaces for our families.
Eight years of adapting, lifting, shifting, making do, and creating magic wherever we could⦠because our families deserve connection and safety even when we didnāt have a home.
And in that time, weāve grown into an awardāwinning, communityāled organisation, providing thousands of activity spaces every year š
But our families deserve more.
The Halescroft Centre is one of the last remaining buildings in our neighbourhood that could become a dedicated SEND Community Hub. A permanent home designed around inclusion, sensory needs, accessibility, and belonging.
A home where:
⤠Children can play without judgement
⤠Young people can grow in confidence
⤠Parents and carers can breathe, connect and feel understood
⤠Our community can finally have stability
Weāve waited eight years for a chance like this.
We cannot lose it to redevelopment.
Thatās why weāre launching our petition to protect Halescroft through an Asset of Community Value (ACV) nomination. This is our opportunity - maybe our only one - to secure a future home for SEND Socials and the families we serve.
If you believe SEND families deserve a place built for themā¦
If youāve ever felt the impact of not having a safe, accessible spaceā¦
If you want to help us finally create a home after eight long yearsā¦
Please sign and share our petition. Your voice genuinely matters.
