Backing Birmingham from recession to recovery
Welcome to Birmingham City Council’s Backing Birmingham pages
As the city’s economy begins to recover from the recent downturn, Birmingham City Council is launching its Backing Birmingham campaign, to raise awareness among residents and businesses of the tremendous amount of help and support out there.
The Backing Birmingham brand will be visible across the city this year, as the city council and its partners work together to do everything possible to support Birmingham's economy and Birmingham's people in 2010
Here to Help
Over the next few weeks and months as this site grows and develops, it will develop into a virtual library of information for anyone needing fast, reliable advice.
Whether you are looking for employment or training opportunities, setting up or developing a business, need advice on money or debt, or just want to know where to take the family for a great day out - Backing Birmingham will be able to point you in the right direction.
Free Guides
As well as www.birmingham.gov.uk/backingbirmingham, two free fact-packed guides for residents and businesses will be available soon, also packed full of really useful information and contacts. We'll give full details of how to get your copies of the leaflets on this site.
Keep in Touch
So look out for the leaflets, bookmark this page, and keep checking in to Backing Birmingham over the coming days and weeks for a great new information source to help you get the best out of your city in 2010.
