Working in Partnership

Restoring the Roundhouse

In Birmingham we are working in partnership with the Canal and River Trust to restore the Roundhouse - a unique, curvy building which was first built as the city's stables and stores. Thanks to £2.5m funding from a National Lottery grant, work is due to be completed in autumn 2018.

Working towards a sustainable future at Moseley Road Baths

We are part of a coalition which, together with Birmingham City Council is seeking to secure the future of the important heritage building which is Moseley Road Baths.
