Settlement Stories – Annual Review 2011
In 2011 we had the pleasure of working with lots of people in lots of situations. Looking back on the year, we decided that our annual review should concentrate on telling some of the stories from people we’ve met who’ve inspired us, helped us or simply made us smile.

Nick Hurd pays us a Visit
Nick Hurd, Minister for Civil Society visited Birmingham Settlement’s Centre for the Aston Family to speak to our Community Organisers. Also present were individuals from local community groups and some of our Community Facilitators who work to prevent tensions from erupting into more serious civil disputes. The Community Organisers are part of a government funded project to train 5,000 individuals to work in local communities and bring people together. Over a cup of tea and a biscuit Nick heard firsthand from the new cohort of Birmingham Organisers why they wanted to be involved with the programme.
