The Chamberlain Highbury Trust has announced a major project to restore Highbury - The home of Birmingham's iconic mayor Joseph Chamberlain - to its role as a centre or innovative thinking and civic leadership.
The Trust has conducted extensive consultations with local communities to inform the plan it has formulated. They say that Highbury needs to become a place where young people of all backgrounds, particularly young people, learn about civic leadership and governance. Les Sparks, Chairman of the Trustees, says: 'Most importantly, we want Highbury to engage young people from all backgrounds and encourage them to take inspiration from the Chamberlain family heritage. We want them to critically reflect upon leadership in all its forms and to take their place in the future of the region and country.'
