ROC in the West Midlands - the story so far...
The official UK-wide launch of Redeeming Our Communities began in the West Midlands at the NEC arena in Birmingham in 2006. With over 7,000 in attendance from around the UK, this began a wide-spread movement of people inspired to work in partnership to see their communities transformed.
A few years later, a number of people from Birmingham were amongst the guests at the Echo Arena for the launch of Redeeming Our Communities: Merseyside on June 16th 2009. Debra Green, National Director of Redeeming Our Communities, was then invited to meet some church and civic leaders in Birmingham. It was decided that the time was right for a launch of ROC in Birmingham, which happened on 16 November 2010. Read more about this exciting event here.
We've seen exciting developments since this event including the opening of ROC Café Cobridge in Stoke as well as a developming relationship with the Staffordshire Fire and Rescue Service. A ROC Café has also opened in Coventry - stay tuned for more details an updates!
