Charity Contributions

We are giving back to the community one charity at a time!

We decided to give back & contribute to charitable causes

We realise that it’s not all about ‘what’ we’re doing, it’s the ‘why’ too. We want to develop and grow our services to offer the midlands a better way of living and commuting, we want to offer connections. We want to reach out and really make the midlands a better place to live, work and travel, and help our residents to thrive.

We wanted to make a lasting difference, so we decided to begin ongoing support by bringing attention to, and raising funds for, as many invaluable causes as possible, and to do this successfully, we chose to organise a series of exciting fundraising events for a different charity each year!

As it’s all about uniting people, places and further opportunities, we wanted to get our colleagues involved too, by giving them the responsibility of choosing the yearly charity.

Our charity of the year...
Black Country Women’s Aid

This year, Black Country Women’s Aid, a vital local charity, has been chosen as our Charity of the Year.

Black Country Women’s Aid is an independent charity that has been supporting survivors of abuse and exploitation across the West Midlands for over 30 years.

Each year, the charity helps more than 8,000 victims of abuse escape violence, overcome trauma, and rebuild their lives. With a sensitive, holistic approach, they provide the care and support survivors need to find safety and hope for the future.

At the heart of their mission is a powerful belief: no one should have to live in fear of violence and abuse. Their ethos—“We listen, we support, we care”—is a testament to the life-changing work they do every day.

We look forward to helping them continue their vital work in 2025 with our fundraising efforts.

Make a Donation

In 2024 we raised £1,153 for Acorns Children’s Hospice

As we draw our Charity of the Year partnership with West Midlands Metro to a close, we want to extend our heartfelt thanks for your incredible support and dedication.

Together, we’ve made a meaningful difference in the lives of the children and families Acorns cares for, and we couldn’t have achieved it without this fantastic collaboration.

To the team at West Midlands Metro, we wish you every success in future expansion and look forward to seeing the continued impact of your network in the community.

Thank you for being part of this journey with us.
