The team behind BCP

The BCP team brings practical experience supporting people facing many of the barriers our programmes are designed around.

Supporting confidence, independence, practical skills and access to services.
Experience supporting PIP, Mandatory Reconsiderations, appeals and hearings.
Helping people navigate services and further support.
Experience supporting people affected by domestic abuse, VAWG and the impact of crime.
Supporting people facing isolation, disability, financial hardship or barriers to services.
Practical support around budgeting, household finances, financial confidence and awareness of financial harm.
Helping people access specialist organisations where further support is required.
Helping people develop routes towards work, training and greater independence.
Helping people understand available support, take part in local activities and connect with community services.
Helping people navigate forms, appointments, online systems and access to public services.
How BCP works
Understand what is getting in the way and what would genuinely help.
Build a simple programme around the problem instead of making people fit the programme.
Consider disability, neurodivergence, language, digital access and other barriers from the start.
Use workshops, drop-ins, small groups, outreach, digital support and practical one-to-one help where appropriate.
Work with other organisations where they are better placed to provide specialist support.
Look at whether people gained access, learned something useful, made a connection or moved on to a useful next step.

BIRMINGHAM
A city full of opportunity
should work for everyone
who lives here.
Birmingham is young, diverse and full of talent. But not everyone has the same chance to benefit from what the city offers.
BCP works within communities to help close that gap — making skills, services, support and opportunities easier to reach.
BCP supports Birmingham's wider ambitions for inclusive growth, opportunity, health, safety and stronger connections between people and services.
Skills, employability, digital confidence and economic opportunity.
Learning, life skills and routes into training and employment.
Disability inclusion, reduced isolation and access to participation.
Housing insecurity, homelessness, VAWG and financial vulnerability.
Digital inclusion, newcomer integration and neighbourhood connection.
Why BCP exists
Services can exist and still miss the people who need them.
Barriers rarely arrive one at a time. Digital exclusion can affect access to work and services. Poor housing can affect health. Financial pressure, disability, isolation or unfamiliar systems can make it harder to move forward.
For funders and partners, the challenge is not simply whether support exists. It is whether people can reach it, understand it and use it.
BCP helps close that gap by turning local needs into practical, accessible community delivery that helps people engage, build confidence and live more independently.
Digital access, confidence and skills.
Connection, activities and routes back into community life.
Support designed with disability, autism, ADHD and different access needs in mind.
Community awareness, safe information and routes into appropriate specialist help.
Help navigating information, services and support when housing is insecure.
Money skills, budgeting, everyday financial confidence and awareness of financial harm.
Practical help building skills and moving towards work or training.
Help understanding services, opportunities and community life in Birmingham.
Help navigating forms, online systems, appointments, referrals and next steps.
Practical skills and support that help people manage everyday life with greater confidence.
Caring for someone can make it harder to find time, support, information and opportunities.
Helping people understand their options, communicate what they need, make clear requests, prepare for difficult conversations and navigate services with greater confidence.
Did it actually help?
That is the question that matters.
Who came, and were we reaching the communities the programme was meant for?
Could people get to information, services or opportunities they could not reach before?
Skills, knowledge and confidence they can use afterwards.
More contact with people, activities and community life.
Into work, learning, support, services or another useful opportunity.
Use feedback to improve what happens next.
