Shaping a community for the future, because every child deserves a fair chance.

    Our Mission

    Our mission is to help Children & Young People to become positive, resilient, happy and successful young adults.

    free@last equips children with skills and resources they need to overcome the challenges they face today by providing opportunities, experiences and the vision to see a better life.

    Tackling Perceptions of Poverty

    We don’t accept that poverty is caused by individuals.

    Poverty is an extreme lack of things: opportunity, education, finance, affection, employment and the basic essentials to live life without struggle. With our families and neighbours, free@last is shaping a deprived area of Birmingham into a flourishing community that challenges injustice.

    With your support, we are committed to creating a safer, brighter future for young people and families in Birmingham.

    Can you believe this happens in Birmingham?

    53% of children in Nechells live in poverty.

    Kids here have a life expectancy 10 years lower than those just 7 stops up the train line.

    And are 3x more likely to die prematurely from preventable conditions.

    With your help, we can change this.
