History

Birmingham Christmas Shelter has been operating for over 30 years and became a registered charity in 1991.  

In August 2007, a special resolution was passed to change the charity’s name from Birmingham Open Christmas to Birmingham Christmas Shelter.

Christmas 2006 was our very first year at St George’s Hub; the centre has a purpose built kitchen, dining room, showers and a large hall with a stage. It is a fantastic environment for our guests and volunteers.

Prior to this, from approximately 1992 until 2005 we were located at St Martin’s Youth Community Centre in Gooch Street.
