A Moseley CDT initiative
The Moseley Exchange is a project of Moseley Community Development Trust (CDT), a community-led charity committed to finding sustainable, local solutions for Moseley.
Moseley CDT helps people into employment, offering financial support and business advice to unemployed individuals who want to start their own ventures. It also works across areas like the environment, health, voluntary services, community development, and education.
Supporting local people
Moseley CDT is dedicated to:
- Supporting the neighbourhood
- Empowering residents
- Approaching local needs holistically
- Operating as a non-profit
- Building financial independence.
Moseley CDT employs a community outreach worker and a volunteer coordinator. They run a wide range of activities to support local people, often in the CDT’s other property, Moseley Hive.
How it all started
Moseley Exchange was originally home to the 1930’s telephone exchange and was one of the tallest structures in the village.
In the mid-2000s, Moseley CDT identified a local need for a collaborative space where independent businesses, charities and remote workers could work, create and share together.
Moseley Exchange opened its doors on 4 July 2009, after significant redevelopment.
However, the listed building retains many of its original features, such as the large windows and high ceilings, and remains home to the local Post Office.
