Reachout Birmingham is a frontline charity dedicated to supporting people who are experiencing homelessness, rough sleeping, or severe vulnerability across Birmingham. We work tirelessly to meet people where they are, offering essential supplies, compassionate support, and vital connections to specialist services that help individuals move toward safety, stability, and dignity.

Homelessness is not just the absence of housing — it is often the result of trauma, poverty, mental health challenges, addiction, or family breakdown. Many of the people we meet are disengaged from mainstream services or unaware of the help available. Without basic support, their situation worsens rapidly, leading to preventable harm, illness, and sometimes death.

Why Our Work Matters

Our presence creates a critical bridge between people in crisis and the services designed to support them. For many, we are the first — and sometimes the only — contact with people who treat them with dignity and compassion.

We are a registered charity. Please see our registration details on the Charity Commissions website.

“Volunteers do not necessarily have the time; they just have the heart”.

“Volunteers do not just do the work; they make it work”.

“Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more”.

“You may not have saved a lot of money in your life, but if you have saved a lot of heartaches for other folks, you are a pretty rich man”.

“The heart of a volunteer is not measured in size, but by the depth of the commitment to make a difference in the lives of others”.
