Welcome to Birmingham Peoples Centre

Since 2013 we have been providing a free employment rights service to people who live or work in Birmingham and can’t get help from any other source. We are a charity and we believe that to make employment rights meaningful it is important that people understand their rights and can enforce them. We are committed to enabling people to access justice.

We do not charge for our services but we encourage clients to make a donation to help us meet the costs of running the centre. We do not receive any financial support from the local or central government and without the generosity of our clients we would not be able to continue helping people with employment problems.

If you would like to find out more about Birmingham Peoples Centre or if you have any questions about the services we provide please contact us.

Help With Employment Problems

We provide free employment rights advice, information and representation to people who live or work in Birmingham and have no other source of assistance. We can help you prepare for a disciplinary hearing, negotiate on you behalf with ACAS, issue a claim to the employment tribunal and provide representation at an employment tribunal hearing.

Representing Yourself

We can support you to represent yourself at a disciplinary hearing, during ACAS Early Conciliation and when making a claim to the employment tribunal. Our factsheets and resources will guide you through the process and you can always contact us if you need help. This service is supported by the Big Lottery and the Access to Justice Foundation.

Why Joining A Trade Union Is A Good Idea

Trade unions are organised groups of workers who come together to support each other in the workplace, negotiating with employers to improve pay, terms and conditions and ensure fair and equal treatment. Unions provide members with advice and representation.
