The Birmingham Xchange group is made up of faith-based projects working in the poorest areas of Birmingham. The group has emerged out of work with Birmingham Anglican Church Diocese.

"The group that set the project up had all moved on. It’s all really needed. We’re now taking it forward and progressing the work, but its different. The sustainability of people... is vital."

The findings from the Birmingham Xchange Group are now available to download.

The methodology refers to a Grounded Theory approach, with use of open questions to generate discussion. Attendees used flip chart paper to document specific comments and notes were taken of the discussion. From the research data comments were clustered manually around specific themes and presented under appropriate headings. Attendees were able to comment on draft findings circulated prior to publication.
