Community development

How we help to develop our communities

We aim to improve the quality of life and health of everyone living or working within our borough.

We want to:

  • support individuals, groups and organisations
  • raise Walsall's profile and showcase our achievements
  • build community spirit and sustainable communities
  • remove barriers that might stop people from taking part in events and decision making
  • provide council buildings to community groups

We do this through working with diverse communities and nurturing partnerships, like the Local Compact.

What is the Local Compact?

The Local Compact is a partnership that brings together people from across the borough and helps us to work towards common goals.

It's made up of people from:

  • Walsall Council
  • the local NHS
  • the Voluntary and Community Sector
  • local businesses
  • Walsall's community

This partnership helps us to create and manage cultural opportunities, events and projects that improve all of our lives.

Setting up a community group

You can find your local co-ordinator and contact them for help to:

  • access funding and training
  • register as a charity
  • get the right policies in place

Voluntary organisations

We also work with voluntary organisations within the borough:

Report a building problem

If your community organisation has a problem in the council building it's based in, let us know. We can help with repairs and maintenance.
