Coronavirus update
Updated 27.11.20 - Due to the coronavirus pandemic, some organisations have altered the way they run their projects. You will find more details on their respective pages.
We are working in partnership with several organisations to deliver projects as part of our vision to create integrated, empowered and inclusive communities in Walsall. These projects aim to improve social mixing and break down barriers to integration in different ways.
If you have any questions about our projects, please get in touch with us.
