Narthex Sparkhill

Meeting the culturally diverse needs of our local communities

The Heart of Narthex work is to meet the culturally diverse needs of our local communities, providing quality facilities that offer a place of welcome. We work in one of the 4% most deprived communities in the UK, with the second highest area of children under 5 living in poverty. Sparkhill is 90% ethnic minority residents with the highest group being Asian Muslim. Against this backdrop of need and diversity we seek to fulfil our mandate of Encouraging Cohesion through, Education, Social Action, Families, Children’s and Young Peoples work.
