How we are funded
291 Creative Hub are grateful for the funding we have received from the National Lottery Communities Fund, which will allow us to continue our work for a further 3 years.
We are also especially grateful to Veolia and All Churches Trust whose support enabled the refurbishment of the building.
We are very grateful to Heart of England and all of the funders who have helped us thus far and look forward to working with those that understand our vision and wish to help us in continuing our commitment to helping the older people of West Bromwich and Sandwell.
We would like to thank our supporters:
We would like to thank Wesley Methodist Church and its members for not only their financial support but also their encouragement with the work that we are doing.
We are extremely grateful for the number of volunteers from the church without whose help 291 Creative Hub would not be able to offer the range of activities which we do.
