The Pioneer Group is a partnership of people and organisations who have come together to enable people and communities to be the best they can be. We use our years of collective regeneration expertise to help people and communities flourish in an ever-changing social and economic landscape. 

Working closely with other local partners, service providers and stakeholders, we deliver community-driven, bespoke traditional and non-traditional housing solutions, and essential support services such as youth, family support, health and employment.

We have become network of complementary agencies all working outside the neighbourhood footprint. 
• Castle Vale Community Housing - a community-based housing provider with a resident majority board, managing 2,500 social housing homes in Castle Vale and working hard to make the neighbourhood a great place to live. http://www.cvch.org.uk/ 
• Compass Support provides services targets young people, families, vulnerable groups and older people from their base at The Sanctuary. They began as youth work providers but have grown their remit and locations. http://www.compass-support.org.uk/ 
• Stockland Green Opportunity Housing and Training is a new provider of affordable housing in North Birmingham tackling the problems of poor quality private renting and the lack of employment and training opportunities particularly for young people.
• Pioneer Places provides new housing, including through the re-purchase of homes, such as former Right to Buy properties, or empty homes. It offers market rented homes with certainty around rent levels, length of tenancy and quality of service.
• Merlin Ventures has now joined the group and provides Tiggy Winkles community nurseries in Castle Vale, affordable childcare to help parents in work.

We are proud of what we have done and we believe in what we do. We have expertise in community regeneration that enable us to unlock the potential in other areas - whether these are in Birmingham or elsewhere.
