Summer’s on the Horizon!
OK – Summer ’25 is a way off, but let’s start planning a get-together in the sun
– with a bit of cash to pay for it! Sandwell Big Help Out 2025 is an invitation to open your doors and welcome in friends old and new for a bite to eat and a chat. During the first week of June 2025, as part of Volunteers’ Week and The Big Help Out, we’re hoping to see dozens of community groups lay on welcoming events for local people. Early next year we’ll announce how you can apply for a micro grant (up to £500) to fund an event, focusing on Building Social Connections … bringing people together who may not normally socialise in the same place or who might be lonely or isolated; introducing them to local activities and services on offer and encouraging them to think about their health and wellbeing as a priority. We will especially encourage neighbouring organisations to get together to host one joint event. We’ll share more details early next year, but meanwhile if you have any questions email This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.
