Welcome to Birmingham Crisis Centre....

Since 1988 we have been providing a safe haven for female victims of domestic abuse. Domestic abuse occurs across society, regardless of age, gender, race, sexuality, wealth and geography. Children are also affected, both directly and indirectly, and there is also a strong correlation between domestic violence and child abuse.

We wished there was no need for our Charity to exist but while figures of domestic abuse rise we’ll continue, with your help, to bring security and comfort to vulnerable women and their children. 

 

 

Without your support we would not have a safe place to live for ourselves or our children”.

Sad Passing of John Ankorn MBE

On Sunday 5th March 2023, the Birmingham Crisis centre charity founder, past chairman and now our late president, sadly passed away after a prolonged illness. John Ankcorn MBE served the charity since 1984 and was instrumental in securing a contract with the local authority to provide a safe haven refuge centre for women and children victims of domestic abuse. John with his wife, Lyn, raised thousands of pounds over the years , forever increasing the charity profile and providing many friends and fundraisers.

 His legacy is leaving a very secure and successful charity, building a bespoke Ofsted inspected onsite nursery which provides respite for the mothers and excellent educational activities for all the children from babies up to 16yrs of age. Pictured is John with his MBE for services to the City and charity.
