A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our AGM yesterday! We truly appreciate your time and support.

A special shout-out to our amazing volunteers and staff — your hard work, and dedication kept everything running smoothly on the day, we really couldn't do any of this without you.

We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Sandwell, and we sincerely thank him for joining us and supporting our event.

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to our exhibitors for sharing their amazing work, and to our inspiring guest speaker, Barrie from Beacon Centre who gave us an unforgettable insight into his Paralympics journey. 🏅

Thank you for helping us continue to grow and make a difference in our community.
