Step Up To Democracy
Women across Birmingham are being invited to take part in a new programme designed to empower, educate, and provide personal development opportunities for those who want to play a bigger role in their communities.
The Step Up to Democracy – Women’s Leadership Programme is an exciting initiative focused on equipping local women with essential leadership and advocacy skills, confidence-building tools, and a deeper understanding of the political and social frameworks that shape their lives.
With a clear goal of fostering change from within the community, the programme offers training and support for women who want to grow as leaders, engage in local politics, and create initiatives that make a difference.

Civic Power
Our project, funded by Civic Power, is dedicated to enhancing our ambassadors team and fostering community engagement. Through a series of activities such as team-building sessions, training on using the Brum account and 'Fix My Street' app, neighbourhood walkabouts, Saathi House Open Days, and support for ambassadors attending Ward meetings, we aim to upskill our ambassadors and involve the wider service user group in a network of information sharing and support.
In addition to these sessions, we are focused on developing a communication strategy, evaluating the impact of our activities, seeking partnerships, gathering feedback, and potentially expanding our ambassadors team to encompass more areas and diverse perspectives. Our ultimate objective is to empower ambassadors and community members to actively participate in local decision-making processes and make a positive impact in their neighbourhood.
