The National Lottery Community Fund is deepening its role as a listening funder, championing community-led change across the West Midlands. With a strong focus on equity, health, and environmental justice, it’s empowering local voices to shape funding decisions and drive impact where it’s needed most.

The Rigby Foundation actively drives change in the West Midlands, breaking barriers to quality education and sustainable employment for young people, particularly in central and south Birmingham. Their "Inspiring Futures Programme" connects schools and charities to deliver targeted support.
