Our services
We offer a free and confidential service for people affected by alcohol problems or homelessness, delivering this through practical support, a specialist alcohol service, (including two residential projects), tenancy support, accommodation and resettlement advice, mental health and well being groups, and counselling.
Getting help
The first point of access to our services is often through our daily 'drop in' sessions in Birmingham City Centre where people can self refer for immediate practical help, but we also take referrals by phone or letter from individuals and third party professionals.
Advice and training
We provide advice for professionals, carers and family members, run Alcohol Education training days for other organisations, and offer placements to trainee police officers and social workers.
Promoting health and inclusion
SIFA Fireside works in partnership with other providers, such as the Homeless Nurses Team, the Homeless Mental Health Team, City College and Birmingham Voluntary Services Council, to tackle health inequalities and to ensure opportunities for volunteering, training and employment.
Access to our buildings for people with disabilities
All our sites have ground floor access and we are working towards making our services accessible/inclusive to people across the spectrum of disabilities. One of the important factors behind our plans to re-locate to a more suitable building is to improve access for those with a disability.
We need your support!
Your financial help enables us to support even more people into settled accommodation, work and training. We also welcome donations of food and clothing. Give your time as a volunteer with SIFA Fireside and make a difference to a huge number of lives, including your own.
