Applications are open now for the Birmingham 2022 community programme, and we want you to join us.

The 2022 Commonwealth Games will shine a light on Birmingham and the West Midlands, putting our vibrant city and region on a global stage.

The West Midlands is a community of communities being home to people from more than 180 countries, and we want to recognise projects that share our vision and mission as we work towards the largest event of this kind ever to be staged in the region…

The role of the community programme is to recognise projects that are delivered by grass-roots organisations that are having a positive impact on the communities that they serve across a diverse range of subjects. These include but are not limited to projects that; aim to improve skills, offer training, provide volunteering resource, benefit the environment, encourage participation in sport, or deliver youth engagement activities.

Successful project applications will be promoted on the Birmingham 2022 website and projects will be able to use, under licence, the new programme logo (subject to strict usage guidelines being followed) to amplify their activity in their communications.
