Emergency Fire Appeal: Supporting West Midlands Families Who've Lost Their Homes

This week, devastating wildfires have torn through communities across the West Midlands and Warwickshire. Homes have been destroyed, families have been forced to evacuate, and entire neighbourhoods have been left reeling from the impact.

Heart of England Community Foundation is launching this Emergency Appeal to ensure those impacted do not face that recovery alone.

We know the neighbourhoods affected, we work closely with local organisations already providing frontline support, and we have the expertise and systems in place to distribute emergency funding efficiently and transparently. When people need help most, we know how to get it to them.
