WMCA invites you to launch of its West Midlands Social Economy Task Force report


Over the past year representatives from the West Midlands Combined Authority’s seven constituent local councils along with social enterprise and third sector practitioners drawn from all parts of the social economy in the West Midlands have been meeting as part of a West Midlands Social Economy Task Force.
The task force has been a sector-led exploration of how the WMCA and its partners can boost the social economy across the region — and why doing so matters.
