Welcome to Friends of Springfield House

We support children between the ages of 5 & 11, who attend Springfield House Special School, all who suffer from significant social, emotional and mental health difficulties. We promote individual / family/ community events & holistic interventions that are essential for fostering healthy mental development & positive life outcomes for the whole family.

Our children face extreme disadvantage and are some of the most vulnerable children across the Birmingham, Coventry and Warwickshire, if not the country. The vast majority have experienced three or more Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs), as well as having diagnosis such as ASC, ADHD, ODD, PDA and extreme anxiety. 

Through securing previous grants and donations we have been able to fund provision of holostic interventions delievered by qualified practitioners, such as play, brick and talking therapies and bereavment councelling. For the past two years we have enabled the school to employ a project/case worker.  These interventions are vital for promoting long term positive metal health outcomes for our children and families, therefore improving their life chances.
