Testimonials
Manor Farm Community Association has been with Black Country Futures since it began. We have found this collaborative approach to delivery and strategic planning across the Black Country to be hugely beneficial. Working together with like-minded and committed organisations, we share and find solutions through this varied network of expertise, enabling our organisation to grow from being a local delivery organisation to being involved in a Black Country wide offer.
JST recognises the huge value of the wealth and knowledge of the partnership across the black country. The Black Country Futures partnership gives us the opportunity to be the voice of people that need it most. Strength in numbers is an asset and gives us a louder voice for us to champion people's needs.
Being a member of Black Country Futures has enabled me to network with organisations that have a passion for delivering community services, share skills and develop new ideas and project proposals. I am excited about the future opportunities that membership offers.
BRC have joined BCF partnership because it is a way for us to connect and develop services across the Black Country working with partners. It is an opportunity to share good practice between organisations and be involved in projects that address the needs of the local people we serve.
