As part of the work to support people and communities to thrive and flourish, Transforming Communities Together are hosting a webinar on the national charity FoodCycle, as it prepares to open its first Walsall-based free meals service for local residents. The webinar will be from 10.30 am on Wednesday, 23 June 2021.
FoodCycle is a national charity established in 2009, with the aim of tackling food poverty and social isolation using donated surplus food. There are currently six projects in the West Midlands, all Birmingham-based. The organisation is now working to set up FoodCycle Cooking projects within Walsall and the wider Black Country.
FoodCycle utilises suitable kitchens in which volunteers cook fresh surplus food, which has been donated, to produce healthy, hot vegetarian meals, for anyone who would like one. The meals are completely free and anyone can just turn up. Typically guests include low income families, homeless people, isolated older people, and people struggling to ‘make ends meet’.
FoodCycle would like to hear from you:
• If you could host a FoodCycle local venue, and have capacity to seat up to 30 guests.
• If you are a local organisation or community group through which potential guests may be reached.
• If you would like to be a volunteer at a local venue.
For more information, please contact Pamela@foodcycle.org.uk on 07377 866347 or Jody@foodcycle.org.uk on 07593 256805.
Book your free place via Eventbrite.
In a new report by Association of Chairs, they found that charity chairs are putting in longer hours to help their charities manage the Covid-19 crisis. 
The Curator Programme is free to participate, and is open to young people of colour aged 16-25 based in the Black Country. It will run between May 2021 – June 2022, allowing the cohort of Curators access to regular professional development workshops led by industry professionals, and to gain practical experience of curating an exhibition and arts festival at Wednesbury Museum and Art Gallery. Each participant will receive a £250 bursary, and travel costs and refreshments will be reimbursed when we are able to conduct the programme in person (initially it will take place online).
Charities during the pandemic have had to adapt quickly with many volunteers and employees having to learn digital skills as they go. It is therefore essential moving forward that charities undertake a digital skills audit to identify training needs as well as their strengths and weaknesses in improving their digital capabilities.
With stores on the high street now open again, the long-established charity, CT Furniture, are launching an appeal for a new wave of volunteers to help, in their three retail stores across the West Midlands.
Join Sandwell and West Birmingham Clinical Commissioning Group (SWB CCG) and help to continue the conversation about what really matters to us, barriers to health and happiness and what we can do together to create thriving communities across the Black Country and West Birmingham.
