Birmingham Christmas Shelter

‘Birmingham Christmas Shelter is a registered charity entirely funded by donations and run by volunteers to look after the homeless and lonely over the Christmas period, when the majority of services are closed for the holidays.

Birmingham Christmas Shelter has raised funds and recruited volunteers each year since 1974 to provide local adults who are homeless or otherwise alone at Christmas with a free warm, safe and welcoming place to eat, shower, sleep and enjoy Christmas.

Every year we open our doors to our guests for several days and nights during the Christmas week, when most of the other services they rely on, take a well-earned rest and close down.

We became a registered charity in 1991 and changed our name from Birmingham Open Christmas to Birmingham Christmas Shelter in 2007.’

About Us – Birmingham Christmas Shelter

Asda Perry Barr, through the Asda Foundation, has awarded £2,000 to Birmingham Christmas Shelter. This incredible support will help us provide warmth, meals, and connection to those in need this Christmas.

To mark their 50th anniversary Birmingham Christmas Shelter has collaborated with Wood And Nails band. They’ve released a heartfelt cover of The Bells Were Ringing Out (Fairytale of New York), with all royalties being donated to Birmingham Christmas Shelter.
