New VCFSE Co-working Space Opening in Birmingham City Centre - Opening offer £6 a day

BVSC is delighted to be piloting the Birmingham VCFSE Hub – a new shared workspace designed specifically for grassroots voluntary, community, faith and social enterprise (VCFSE) organisations.

Located in the heart of Birmingham, the Hub will provide a welcoming and collaborative environment where organisations can work, connect and grow together. Alongside BVSC staff, we are looking for a small number of VCFSE partners to help shape and develop this exciting new space.

The Hub will be soft launched in September, and we are inviting expressions of interest from organisations looking for workspace in the city centre for a few days each week. The space offers stunning views across Birmingham, plenty of hot desks, meeting rooms and informal collaboration areas.

More than just a workspace, the Birmingham VCFSE Hub is about building a community, encouraging collaboration and supporting organisational development. Pricing has been designed to keep the space affordable for smaller organisations while creating opportunities to connect with others across the sector.

Access is available exclusively to Birmingham VCFSE organisations, with priority given to organisations with a small team of staff and/or volunteers who need administrative and workspace facilities in the city centre.

Membership Costs

There is a one-off induction fee of £50, plus a monthly fee based on usage:

Usage	Monthly Cost
Up to 1 day per week	£25
Up to 2 days per week	£50
Up to 3 days per week	£75

Additionally private meeting rooms are £7.50 and £10 per hour.

Please note these are pilot costs and will be reviewed as the project develops

Places are limited and will be allocated following a short discussion with interested organisations to ensure the Hub is the right fit for everyone involved.

One person from your organisation will need to take part in being part of the steering group that develops the space.

Interested?

If you would like to find out more, contact Gwyn Rose Hucknall ([email protected]). Gwyn will be happy to arrange a visit, show you around the space, and discuss over a cup of tea how the Birmingham VCFSE Hub could support your organisation.
