Support Vocal Rogue Today!

Through our partnership with Community Red Social Supermarket, we addressed key challenges including food poverty, food waste, low-income households, homelessness, and wellbeing support. We supported the setup and ongoing running of the supermarket, contributing financially, managing operations, delivering social media content, and providing wellbeing support through our Check-In sessions.

Alongside this, we co-founded Sandwell Catalyst with Sweda Services and other local organisations to address the lack of structured support for social enterprises. This initiative focuses on breaking down barriers, building partnerships, and supporting sustainable growth across the sector.

We carried out outreach across schools, organisations, and community groups to increase awareness and access to our services. We developed and maintained partnerships with organisations including SWB NHS Trust, Daniel Baird Foundation, RediHomes, and Tracey’s Juice Bar.

These relationships enabled us to promote services, create referral pathways, and integrate partner support into our wider ecosystem. We also hold regular partnership meetings with Community Red and RediHomes, where we act as wellbeing providers.

This work led to increased awareness of Vocal Rogue® CIC services across Sandwell, the formation of new partnerships, and a rise in referrals into both our football development and wellbeing programmes.

It strengthened community trust, improved engagement across different age groups, and increased access to support services for individuals facing a range of challenges.

This outreach activity strengthened the connection between our football development, wellbeing services and community support network.

It demonstrates how the Vocal Rogue® Urban Labs Ecosystem operates in practice - creating a joined-up, collaborative model that supports individuals while enabling organisations to work more effectively together.
