Birmingham philanthropist wins Lifetime Achievers Award

Birmingham philanthropist and community champion Stephen Goldstein has been awarded this year’s Lifetime Achievers Award.

The award, presented by Carmen Watson, chair of Pertemps Network Group, recognises Stephen’s extraordinary dedication to supporting Birmingham’s communities, from grassroots charities to initiatives empowering young people.

For the past eight years, Stephen has led the Lord Mayor of Birmingham’s Charity with unwavering dedication, compassion and vision.

Under his stewardship, the charity has supported grassroots organisations, mentoring volunteers and ensuring that small but mighty causes receive the help they need to thrive.

Through his own charity, Mad Hatters, Stephen has championed children with special educational needs, bringing joy, opportunity and dignity to those who need it most.

His ongoing involvement with the Variety Club and The Duke of Edinburgh’s Award further reflects his commitment to empowering young people and building inclusive communities.

“It’s an absolute privilege to present the Lifetime Achievers Award to Stephen,” said Carmen Watson, chair of Pertemps Network Group.

“Stephen’s dedication, compassion and tireless support for Birmingham’s communities is truly inspiring. His leadership has transformed countless initiatives and touched so many lives, and this award is a fitting recognition of his extraordinary contributions.”
