Absolutely stunning! 😍
🎬 Celebrating Sandwell through Culture, Community, Heritage, and Hidden Gems! 🌟 Proud to share one of three films we were commissioned to create for the West Midlands Combined Authority’s Week of Creativity! This project has been a true joy. As a Sandwell resident, I loved uncovering corners of my community I’d never experienced before. 🌳 Exploring the Unexpected: From the lush green spaces and industrial heritage of Galton Valley to the serene grounds of the Bhalaji Temple nestled in Tipton’s parkland, Sandwell is full of surprises. 🏇 Sleipnir, Odin's eight-legged horse, standing proud on a hillside in Wednesbury—a huge sculpture by Steve Field that truly brings Norse mythology to life. 💪 Honoring Legacy: In Cradley Heath, Luke Perry's statue of the Lady Chain Maker tells a story of resilience and community spirit and pays homage to our heritage. ✨ Illuminating Art: jodi ann bickley’s stunning Walls of Light in Bearwood—public art that transforms spaces and invites passersby to pause and reflect. 🎨 Celebrating Community Through Art: This film also shines a light on the incredible arts organisations across Sandwell and the Black Country. These dedicated groups work tirelessly to bring colour, culture, and pride to our neighbourhoods. Through festivals, exhibitions, community workshops, and installations, they’re building vibrant, inclusive spaces that tell our region's unique story and inspire the next generation of artists. Our region is alive with art and history, often hidden in plain sight. If you’re looking to highlight your own community’s unique stories, let’s connect! We’d love to bring more of these meaningful narratives to life.

Green light for 105 new homes at former Phoenix Collegiate site 🏡 Approval has been granted by Sandwell Council for the creation of 105 new homes in #Wednesbury, located off Friar Park Road at the former Phoenix Collegiate site. The development, delivered by our Central team and known as Tame Bridge View, will provide a mix of properties from one- to four- bedrooms. Of the homes, a proportion will be transferred to a housing association partner. Keeping the priorities of the local community in mind, the new development commits to enhancing the local area as well as Wednesbury more generally – with high quality design, sustainability and placemaking at the forefront. The homes will be set within a new area of public open space with a new play area and connecting footpaths. As part of the approved development, a new school will be provided from the proceeds of the land sale, with £300,000 committed to enhance local sports pitches. #PersimmonHomes

What an amazing initiative! Get in touch with them if you are able to support 👐
Vocal Rogue, has been working hard behind the scenes with @communityredsocialsupermarket, and we're glad to announce that we have joined forces. The Social Supermarket, based in Wednesbury, is a place for the community to purchase low-cost food and rescue surplus stock from local businesses and supermarkets. During our initial discussions about social issues, we noticed a recurring pattern - the immense rise in mental health issues such as anxiety and loneliness, affecting people of all age groups. This partnership is a major step toward revitalising the local area. We invite everyone to engage—volunteer, participate or visit the supermarket. If you’d like to become a sponsor of the Community Red Social Supermarket, there are still some spaces available, so why not join us today? We hope to go to print by the end of this week ahead of the opening.
