Building a Fairer Economy in the West Midlands

At Legacy WM, we believe in the power of social enterprises to create real change. By tackling job inequalities and opening up opportunities, we’re helping communities thrive. As part of the West Midlands Social Economy, we’re working with West Midlands Combined Authority to drive inclusive growth that benefits everyone. 

Breaking Barriers to Employment

Too many people struggle to find meaningful work, especially those from underrepresented backgrounds. We’re here to change that. By supporting social enterprises and purpose-driven businesses, we help create jobs that reinvest in the community, ensuring long-term impact.  

How the Social Economy Growth Programme Helps

The West Midlands Social Economy Growth Programme is a game-changer. It provides funding and support to help organisations like ours grow, sustain their mission, and reach more people. This initiative allows us to keep empowering communities through economic opportunities.  

Why It Matters 

A thriving social economy doesn’t just create jobs—it builds stronger communities, boosts local investment, and fosters a more inclusive future. By working with WMCA and other key partners, we’re helping shape an economy that puts people first.
