See how Greaves Square is making a difference.
Greaves Square has been part of the Kings Norton community for many years, providing a familiar local place where people can meet, take part and feel welcome. After years of uncertainty, we restored the building and reopened its doors with a renewed purpose to serve the people who never stopped needing it.
Today the centre is managed by Jahsar Association CIC, a registered not-for-profit Community Interest Company made up of a retired social worker, a teacher, and three dedicated volunteers. What brings us together is a shared passion and a firm belief that everyone in this community deserves a space where they feel they belong.
Our aim is simple: to make Greaves Square a useful, welcoming and active place for the whole community.
Greaves Square is home to regular activities including coffee mornings, Stay & Play sessions, the Luncheon Club and community gardening, alongside family sessions, food events, support initiatives and spaces available for hire.
The centre is designed to be practical, welcoming and accessible, somewhere people can return to again and again.
These principles shape the way Greaves Square is run and the kind of place we want it to be.
