The Hands on Handsworth website has been set up by Handsworth Neighbourhood Management.

What is Neighbourhood Management?

Neighbourhood management is a process that aims to find local solutions to local problems. This process recognises the uniqueness of each place, allowing people that live, work or provide services in it to build on its strengths and address specific problems.

Neighbourhood management is part of a citywide strategy that is focusing interventions in the most deprived wards in the city led by Be Birmingham in partnership with Birmingham City Council.

Neighbourhood Management in Handsworth

The Handsworth Neighbourhood Management area covers the south of Handsworth Wood ward & the west of the Lozells & East Handsworth Ward. The area has benefited from having a management board and Neighbourhood Manager since 2007. A wide range of people that live and work in Handsworth have worked in partnership and contributed to improving outcomes and the quality of life for local residents. There is still lots to do and lots more opportunity for local people to get involved.

The key objectives are:

• Succeed Economically
• Stay, safe in a clean & green neighbourhood
• Enjoy a high quality of life
• Be Healthy
• Make a positive contribution

More information about Neighbourhood Management is available in the Hands on Handsworth pages, including  information about the Handsworth Neighbourhood Management Programme.
