Together, we’re Making It Sandwell.
Made 50 years ago from six proud towns, Sandwell is a place built on making things happen. It’s where industry met innovation, and where strong communities still shape the future.
The Sandwell Story is a campaign and programme of work to celebrate the people, places and partnerships that make this borough a great place to live, work, learn and visit. Find out how you can become a Sandwell Ambassador here and you can get updates on the Sandwell Story, including events and ways to support here.
People Making Sandwell Shine
A big part of the Sandwell Story is down to the people who live across its six towns; Wednesbury, Tipton, Rowley Regis, Smethwick, West Bromwich and Oldbury.
These are Sandwell stories. Together, we’re Making It Sandwell.
Making the Workforce of the Future: We’ve launched Sandwell Stories with young people at the heart of our story, sharing their experiences and aspirations when it comes to Making It Sandwell.
