BCM annual reports
and impact
We help people to make change happen in their Birmingham communities
BCM’s vision is to see voluntary and community action encouraged and celebrated in Birmingham, with people empowered to make change happen – no matter how small. Ideas flourish and our communities grow stronger and more connected.
Case studies
How BCM supported volunteer Sue to realise her vision for outdoor therapeutic space for children and young people experiencing school refusal.
How BCM gives ongoing support to Arts All Over The Place, having first helped the organisation to register as a charity.

Annual report
2021-22
As the UK emerged from the pandemic, we began adopting our ‘hybrid’ way of delivering BCM’s services: a mixture of online and in-person support. This report tells that story!
Annual report
2020-21
Why are annual reports so often boring, when our work isn’t? We gave this one a fresh look. It’s called ‘Making the most of a difficult year: our pandemic story’.
Annual report
2019-20
Our year end is April and it’s interesting to read in our 2019-20 annual report how we were already anticipating adapting BCM’s plans in light of Covid-19.
Annual report
2018-19
Thank goodness we have enlisted the help of Kerry, our BCM designer, since this 2018-19 annual report. It should be reported to the Society of Prevention of Cruelty to Logos.
Annual report
2017-18
BCM’s very first annual report! From the days when we were a ‘small voluntary organisation’ with a management committee, like many of the groups we support.
