Funding & Partnership

Two of the HSBC team were made aware of our charity and originally visited to make a one off donation. During that visit they were given a tour around the premises and insight into how the operation works, at which point they were taken aback and immediately committed to doing more. Following this visit, HSBC selected Birmingham Care Group as their charity of choice 2023 and due to the impact made through our joint collaboration have also chosen to continue our partnership for 2024.

Morrisons has been steadfast in its support for Birmingham Care Group throughout the pandemic and beyond. Their ongoing weekly donations have been a lifeline, and for the past three years, we've been privileged to be their designated charity for in-store donations. Kath Harris, along with the dedicated team, tirelessly champions our cause, ensuring the food pantry continues to thrive. Their generosity extends beyond just food; donations of clothing have provided essential aid to community members facing unemployment, homelessness, or limited financial resources.

Greggs have supported our charity since 2017 and are one of our longest standing partnerships. Their donations increased during the pandemic and they continue to donate at this accelerated level on a weekly basis. Their donations include sandwiches, baguettes, pastries and pasties. Our beneficiaries save an average of £8-£10 per shop from these donations and couldn't be more grateful.

Warburtons donate 150 loaves of bread on a weekly basis. As we all know, bread is a staple for every family and so these weekly donations have become an essential part of our members' weekly shops. The team at Warburtons have been very supportive and have given us the freedom to organise collections and even increase the order whenever necessary. Our team and beneficiaries will be eternally grateful for their generosity.

Having built a good working relationship with Sunrise Bakery, Errol Drummond the owner donated a significant amount of West Indian bread and bun on a weekly basis. Believing in our mission to support our communities from the Caribbean, we continue to receive these items on a weekly basis. Again, this is a staple for our beneficiaries, Caribbean or not, who are accessing the food pantry. Our team and beneficiaries are extremely grateful for Sunrise Bakery’s contribution towards our mission of providing culturally sensitive foods to the wider community.

Pete’s meats is a local meat supplier, who we originally approached to buy bulk meat for our beneficiaries. We quickly connected on a personal level, which led to their organisation offering donations and large discounts on all purchases made by us. These discounts are passed onto our members and for that, they now have access to high quality meats at affordable prices, and are very grateful to Pete’s Meats for this.

The Charity Bank has been a valued partner of our organisation for several years. They have supported Birmingham Care Group through our expansion and the development of our new premises, enabling us to open a community hub that has allowed us to secure jobs. We continue to build a strong relationship with the Charity Bank team, who understands our goals and aspirations to provide quality service to our community members.
