BLACK COUNTRY TOURING

Black Country Touring works in partnership with Young Promoters and Community Promoters, supporting local communities to bring professional regional, national and international high quality theatre, dance and film into the Black Country. We also create new work born out of contemporary Black Country stories for both local and national audiences.

Positives:

This charity has been successful in attracting volunteers relative to its size
The charity has received backing from multiple prominent grant makers recently
