Erdington Neighbourhood Network Scheme
Supporting Independence in Erdington’s Communities
The Erdington Neighbourhood Network Scheme (ENNS) is about local community groups supporting people over 50 or an adult with disabilities to live life to the full, ENNS helps people to stay independent, active, and connected across the Erdington Constituency.
We work with community organisations and small voluntary groups(assets) across our neighbourhood, from clubs and community centres to volunteers and local groups. ENNS is proud to be part of Birmingham’s ten Neighbourhood Network Schemes, working hand-in-hand with the city’s Social Work teams and local organisations.
How ENNS Makes a Difference
ENNS offers small grants to support local communities to increase offers for older people and those with additional needs to live happier and healthier lives whilst strengthening our communities. These offers include exercise classes, social events, skills workshops, gardening groups, mental health support and creative arts sessions.
- Local clubs and activities: Find new friends, fun hobbies, and friendly support.
- Wellbeing advice: Get guidance on staying healthy, managing your money, and accessing services.
- Help for carers: We’re here to listen, advise, and connect carers to the help they need.
Since ENNS began, we’ve supported 181 grants, funding everything from coffee mornings to dance lessons, lunch clubs to peer support groups. Every grant helps create more opportunities for people to get involved and feel good about where they live.
