Creating happier, healthier communities in the West Midlands and Warwickshire.

We are the Heart of England Community Foundation – we manage a variety of funding for the local voluntary and community sector. With support from our funders, followers and partners, we help sustain the communities where we live, work and play. Our vision is to help the West Midlands and Warwickshire communities live happier, healthier lives. To achieve this, our mission is to connect generous donors who care, with community causes that make a difference.

❤️ 20 years. Countless communities supported. Lasting impact.

Today we're celebrating an incredible milestone as Tina celebrates 20 years at Heart of England Community Foundation.

Over the last two decades, she has helped shape our organisation, champion local communities and lead with passion, purpose and kindness. The impact of her leadership can be seen in the partnerships we've built, the opportunities we've created and the communities that are thriving.

Thank you, Tina, for 20 years of leadership, inspiration and creating
lasting impact across our region. ❤️

Here's to everything you've achieved, and everything still to come. 👏✨

Ahead of Mental Health Awareness Day tomorrow, earlier this week we took a moment to step away from our busy schedules and focus on something just as important as the work we do: our own wellbeing💗

We know that supporting strong, resilient communities starts with looking after ourselves too.

Our team spent time with Creative Kindness, who delivered a mindfulness session that encouraged us to pause, reflect, and get in touch with our creative side.

A big thank you to Creative Kindness for helping us slow down, be present, and invest in our mental health🤝

Thriving communities start with opportunities that bring people together, build confidence and support wellbeing. ❤️

That’s why we’re proud to support St Paul’s, who were awarded £39,256 over three years through the Fairer Futures Fund, part of the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System alongside Birmingham City Council

Recently, they hosted a women’s health class in Birmingham, bringing women together to improve their wellbeing while building confidence in English. Through their Creative English Classes, participants learn language skills with a focus on staying healthy, alongside fitness sessions and dancing. 💃🏃‍♀️

It’s a great example of how community-led projects are creating inclusive spaces where people can connect, learn and thrive.

What makes a community thrive? ✨

It's the parent who finds support when times are tough. The young person who discovers a new opportunity. The older neighbour who feels connected rather than alone. It's the local groups, volunteers and charities working every day to make their corner of the West Midlands and Warwickshire a little stronger, kinder and more inclusive.

These stories are at the heart of everything we do 💗

Thriving communities aren't built overnight. They're built through small acts of support, meaningful connections and people coming together to create positive change🤝

Yesterday, we celebrated International Day of Birmingham in true Brummie style ✨

As our Senior Programmes Manager, Sham and Senior Communications Officer, Mariam received their Brummie passports at Chamber House, we were reminded of everything that makes Birmingham such a special place to call home.

From powerful poetry by Poet Laureate Ayan Aden to the creativity of local artists the day was a celebration of the people, cultures and communities that make our city thrive. We even spotted a small piece of our own history, a Birmingham bus ticket dating back to 1993!

For over 30 years, Heart of England Community Foundation has been proud to support incredible projects across Birmingham and the wider West Midlands. From grassroots groups and local charities to artists and businesses, we've seen first-hand the passion, resilience and generosity that drive positive change every day. 💗

We're so proud to be part of this city and the communities that make Birmingham extraordinary👏

Today, we swapped laptops for mixing bowls and spreadsheets for sprinkles as we headed to the The Big Bakes in Birmingham 🍰

A day filled with creativity, friendly competition, plenty of laughter and a few baking challenges along the way. From ambitious showstoppers to last-minute rescues, every team brought their own unique flavour to the challenge 🤝

A huge well done to our winners Helen Kendrick & Lucy Winter, whose impressive baking skills earned them the trophy👏

While not every bake was a masterpiece, the day was a wonderful reminder of the importance of teamwork, creativity, and taking time to connect.

A huge thank you to our trustees for attending!

We recently shared our 2026–2030 strategy, and since then we've been reflecting on a question that lies at the heart of our work: what does a truly thriving and inclusive region look like?

For us, it's a place where everyone has the opportunity to flourish, communities feel connected, and local people can shape a better future 🤝

That's why we're proud that our refreshed mission and vision capture this💗

✨ Some exciting news from our chair, Jude.

Strong communities don't happen by chance. They are built through generosity, investment, collaboration and a long-term commitment to making a difference 💗

Today, we're proud to share our refreshed strategy, setting out how we'll strengthen our support for communities across the West Midlands and Warwickshire in the years ahead.

"As the Chair of the Heart of England Community Foundation, I’m delighted to share our revised strategy, which reflects the scale of our ambition for the West Midlands and Warwickshire.

As the region’s leading independent grant-maker, we have both the reach and responsibility to inspire greater generosity, connect people and organisations around the issues that matter, invest for the long term and use our knowledge of communities to influence meaningful change.

Our ambition is to be a lasting force for good, helping to create thriving, generous and inclusive communities today and for generations to come"

We look forward to bringing this strategy to life and continuing to work alongside our donors, partners and communities to create a stronger, more inclusive future for the West Midlands and Warwickshire 🤝
