Put together by the local Community 50+ Forum, the ‘Know Your Place’ Project, which aims to enhance community cohesion by re-alighting peoples’ knowledge and experiences, capturing local heritage in the 1920s onwards, has been operating within the Blakenall, Bloxwich and Leamore areas of Walsall.

For the past 5 years, local community activists within the Great Bridge Community have been campaigning to improve an area of land called ‘Haines Branch Walk’. The site runs alongside a disused canal side and the River Tame; linking the High Street retail area to Sheepwash Nature Reserve.

Building of over 5 years experience, Wider Impact continues to grow and develop, supporting organisations and local communities across the United Kingdom.

Commissioned by Stoke on Trent College / City Break Project, and funded by the Stoke on Trent Safer City Partnership, the report delivers several objectives.

Wider Impact is delighted to be commissioned by Birmingham & Black Country Community Foundation to support the delivery of the Haines Branch Walk Project situated in Greatbridge, West Midlands
