    Business in the Community (BITC) and Midland Metro Alliance would be delighted if you could join us for a virtual ‘Community Conversation’ where we will explore how people from all sectors can support the recovery and rebuilding of the Sandwell economy. We believe that resilient communities are made up of collaborative partnerships that are willing to work together and build on local knowledge resulting in long term change.

    A Community Conversation is a cross-sector networking event enabling fruitful conversations between business, the voluntary sector and local government. They explore, how everyone working together can build a healthier community.

    A key outcome from a Community Conversation is a commitment amongst participants to continue to work together and agree on collaborative actions that can make a real difference in a place.

    We want all participants to share their knowledge and perspectives in order to address local needs, we want to draw on the strengths of everyone in a place

    BITC will assess actions / pledges / offers after the event and plan for further action.

    This Community Conversation will focus on the benefits of improved connectivity with areas of opportunity and major employment sites. To complement this, we would like to explore wider social and environmental issues that all three sectors can address in a collaborative fashion.

    In session two, local community organisations have been invited to present a current challenge or idea.

    In light of restrictions brought about by Covid-19, we will now be delivering this community conversation as two virtual sessions.
