George Williams House is in Watson Close, off St Bernard’s Road, Sutton Coldfield B72 1LE

It’s on the site of the former Watson House for Convalescent Children, which was a large Victorian mansion that was demolished in the 1970s and replaced with the buildings we now own

We have rooms for young people to stay for up to two years in a single-story bungalow and on the first floor of our main building

Our reception, offices and a large hall are on the ground floor, with gardens and hardstanding areas outside

For young and disabled people there’s a youth room, sensory room, gaming pod and an outdoor gym
