About Us

As a board, we have our flagship events through the year which we run, as well as supporting national events and days like Childhood Day, Pride and Light up for children.

We’re The West Midlands Business Board of the UK’s leading children’s charity.

The West Midlands Business Board is made up of professionals from across the West Midlands who work together to organise events and fundraisers to raise money for the NSPCC.

The NSPCC is the UK’s leading children’s charity and has been helping children for over 140 years. It helps make 1 million children a year safer from abuse. It runs many different services, which you can see here.

An estimated 1 in 20 children have experienced sexual abuse. And child sexual abuse is under-reported by adults. It’s time for that to change.

Childline is one service that the NSPCC runs. It runs 24 hours a day – even on bank holidays and Christmas, by a mixture of volunteers and staff. Any child or young person can get in touch with Childline. More info on this page.

The adult helpline is for anyone concerned about a child or young person, you can get more info here.

As a board, we have our flagship events through the year which we run, as well as supporting national events and days like Childhood Day, Pride and Light up for children.

We would love you to get involved by coming to an event, sharing this page – or a particular event – with your network, or doing a sponsored event like a run or bake sale to raise money. No amount raised is too small. £4 will make a difference to a child struggling.

If you’re interested in getting in touch with the board to play your part and be a West Midlands NSPCC ambassador, email us!
