About the board

The Board's aim is to promote long term relationships between the Birmingham business community and the NSPCC in order to generate regular funds to support the work of the NSPCC protecting children at risk locally in the Birmingham area.

It is the aim of the Board to raise money through a calendar of events, employee fundraising campaigns and Corporate adoption/sponsorship which will benefit the NSPCC on a regular basis.

What the board members say

"As a selected key location for the provision of NSPCC services, and the location of the Midlands Childline Centre, Birmingham needs a strong, active and productive Business Board supporting the charity's activities for children in and around the city. For businesses it's an opportunity to really contribute to a valuable cause and to network with local companies."
