Birmingham and the wider West Midlands region face some of the highest levels of child poverty in the country. In Birmingham alone, over 40% of children are living in poverty, making our work at West Midlands Multibank a vitally important service for children and families experiencing hardship.

We aim to support as many people as possible by redistributing surplus goods and donated items from businesses via a network of community-based partners, including charities, teachers and social workers across the region.

West Midlands Multibank is a part of a national Multibank network that was created by former PM Gordon Brown and has Amazon as a strategic partner. Since launching in March 2025 The West Midlands Multibank has made a significant impact:

* 150 partner organisations
* 15,000 approximately, items distributed per week
* £100,000 worth of goods distributed per week
* 85,573 households supported

We welcome partnerships with local businesses that may be able to donate new items such as bedding, clothing, hygiene products, and household goods. We are always looking to extend our reach to even more groups and communities.

How to get involved:

* Donate surplus stock instead of wasting it.
* Promote your cause with your supply chain.
* Offer logistic, warehouse or coordination support.
