About Handsworth Helping Hands
Handsworth Helping Hands (HHH) is a dedicated voluntary charity that improves the quality of life in Birmingham’s inner suburbs, including Handsworth, Birchfield, and Lozells.
The group focuses on:
• Environmental action: Conducting neighborhood litter picks, clearing alleyways, managing fly-tipping, and planting public spaces.
• Community care: Assisting vulnerable residents with domestic tasks they cannot manage alone.
• Sustainability: Upcycling dumped or donated furniture and toys to rehome to families.
Their grassroots impact earned them the prestigious Queen’s Award for Voluntary Service (QAVS).
