Our partners

Sähëlï Hub’s success is made possible by the important partnerships that we develop with funders, commissioners, national governing bodies of sport and other partner organisations at local, regional and national level. To us, partnership meansdeveloping and sustaining long-term programmes of activities and sport that help participants to get and remain active.

Over two decades, we have developed a successful model which operates inneighbourhoods across Birmingham. We aim to be a systems partner, thinking and advocating strategically, as well as delivering locally. Sähëlï Hub is an exemplar of how to engage, support and tackle inequality and participation in health, physical activity and sport for communities living in the disadvantaged communities.

Our work this year has helped us to recognise our place in the system – how we are real leaders in our field, not just in Birmingham but countrywide. As an organisation used to stretching and supporting everyone we can, we now really want to focus on how we change a system that has always ‘done to us’ rather than supported, developed or grown us. We are building a foundation that is strong and has capacity to lead as well as to deliver.

All of this means that we develop partnerships that enable the delivery of long-term services to people in our communities, rather than short-term projects which are here today, gone tomorrow. This is a foundation stone of what we call the Sähëlï Way, helping us to build and maintain strong relationships with our participants and our communities.

We’d like to thank and acknowledge the support of the our current partners…
