News on Bournville Village Trust

A recent visit to Nechells took me back to my childhood days and memories of a deprived run down area.

To my surprise on a recent walk about of the local area I found a green and leafy Nechells with open spaces and sports facilities and a whole new community that had now made Nechells home. It had a real community feel and I was shocked and surprised with the transformation considering the reputation the area had and still does have for those who have not been to Nechells for a while. It was one of those never judge a book by its cover moments. I saw community working with external agencies to bring about changes and I am looking forward to being one of those agencies working with the people of Nechells to build their Community.

Ever since I have been telling others how Nechells has changed.
