Help build The Haven: Great Barr's New Community Coffee House!

... Comments

"When we moved to Great Barr from Manchester in 2019, we were looking for a cafe or coffee shop where we could meet with friends, business associates or just hang out for a cuppa but there was literally no where to go!   At the moment the places to have a coffee are very limited!"  Colin & Natasha Ruddock, Victory Outreach Birmingham

Imagine a place where coffee meets connection. Where laughter echoes, stories are shared, and no one feels alone. That’s the vision behind The Haven Community Coffee House—and you can help make it real.

We’re opening a not-for-profit coffee shop on Newton Road, Scott Arms in Great Barr, Birmingham, and we need your help to raise £15,000 to fit out the space and open our doors by Spring 2026.

Why The Haven Matters

Currently, there’s no other coffee shops in Great Barr to sit down, enjoy a coffee, and connect! The Haven will be a warm, inclusive space where people of all ages and backgrounds can come together. Whether it’s dementia-friendly mornings, youth art sessions, or parent-child craft clubs, we’re building a place that nurtures community spirit and combats isolation.

What Your Gift Supports

Your donation will help us cover:

  • Shopfront & signage
  • Bespoke counter
  • Furniture & decor
  • Kitchen & appliances

Every pound brings us closer to opening a space that uplifts lives and strengthens our neighbourhood.

Rooted in Purpose

Led by Victory Outreach Church Birmingham, The Haven is grounded in Christian values and committed to reinvesting in the community. Proceeds will also support housing projects and restorative programs for young people and those overcoming addiction.
