About this Event

Come and join us at Oddingley Hall for "Two years since 'bankruptcy': The story of Brum's community assets"

Since Birmingham City Council declared a Section 114 notice in September 2023, effectively declaring itself bankrupt, the Save Birmingham Campaign has been supporting community groups to preserve some of the city's vital community assets and save them from closure.
This event will showcase Oddingley Hall, one of the assets that has been passed over to Northfield Community Partnership (NCP) via the process of Community Asset Transfer (CAT). We'll hear from NCP about their plans for the future of the building and the range of activities and services that will continue to be delivered from the centre for local residents.
Come along to celebrate the successes of the campaign, learn more about the process of CAT and find out what you can do if you think one of your neighbourhood assets is at risk.


Lunch will be provided from 12.30pm, with the opportunity to network with others
