Our Projects
We love to deliver successful, funded projects that support young people
Although most of our funded projects come about through written bids, we are always interested in hearing how your organisation can use our experience to deliver or provide expert consultancy on a successful project.
We have particular experience in delivering projects that support the creative industries, enterprising graduates and young people.
If you're interested in working with us, please get in touch with NTI Birmingham Director Sara Middleton on sara.middleton@bcu.ac.uk or (44) 0121 202 4800.
