Building Blocks is a charity run by West Midlands Police and the Police and Crime Commissioner.
How does Building Blocks help?
It funds youth projects, such as the Police Cadet Scheme in the West Midlands police force area, as well as other schemes with a particular emphasis on reducing drug abuse and diverting young people from crime. It aims to give vulnerable young people access to appropriate and high-quality services, regardless of their background.
Building Blocks aims to educate the public, especially young people, about the effects of crime including matters related to alcohol, drug and solvent abuse. We also support young people’s mental, moral and physical development whilst working to improve public safety and quality of life by preventing crime and protecting people and property.
