Community Support Fund
At West-Midlands Credit Union, supporting our members means supporting our communities. As a member-owned, not-for-profit financial co-operative, everything we do is rooted in the people and places we serve.
Our Community Support Fund is one of the keyways we give back-by providing financial support to local groups and organisations that make a meaningful difference in everyday life across our common bond.
Supporting Our Communities
The Community Support Fund is designed to support a wide range of initiatives that enhance community life. We are proud to assist:
- Arts and cultural organisations
- Charitable and voluntary groups
- Schools and educational initiatives
- Sports clubs and youth organisations
- Community and development groups
These groups play a vital role in creating vibrant, inclusive, and connected communities. From grassroots sports and education to essential support services and cultural projects, the impact of their work is far-reaching.
A Commitment to Local Impact
In 2026 the Community Support Fund supported 149 different community group with funding to support their activities reflecting the strength and dedication of community organisations across our region. Applications are carefully reviewed to ensure that available funding is distributed in a fair and balanced way, supporting as many deserving groups as possible.
The Community Support Fund reflects our ongoing commitment to social responsibility and community development-values that are at the core of the credit union movement.
