Young people with Bangladeshi and Pakistani heritage in Walsall are set to benefit from a £1m grant to help tackle youth unemployment in the region.

A partnership of organisations, led by Aaina Community Hub, will be announced as the latest to join Youth Futures Foundation’s flagship place-based programme, Connected Futures.

Launched in 2022, fund seeks to develop new approaches to breaking down systemic barriers and improving access to employment for young people from marginalised backgrounds.

Youth Futures Foundation’s investment follows a £100,000 grant into Aaina from the West Midlands Combined Authority, in support of the region’s Race Equalities Taskforce.

Richard Parker, mayor of the West Midlands and WMCA Mayor, said: ‘I’m committed to ensuring every young person has the best possible start in life, no matter their background.

‘It’s great to hear how the investment from the Youth Futures Foundation will help the Aaina Community Hub support young people from Pakistani and Bangladeshi backgrounds in Walsall to achieve their full potential.’
