This page showcases the amazing work the donations to Building Blocks fund and the impact this money has across the West Midlands.

What do donations fund?

The West Midlands Police Cadets scheme recruits 13-17 year olds from across the region and encourages young people from all walks of life to join.

Police Cadets volunteer their time to learn about policing and make a positive impact on their community. They are a key link between the force and the younger generation and since the relaunch in January 2025, the Cadet Scheme has 12 units across the force.

£2,500 raised for the Cadet Leader Recruitment Programme Cadet Leaders play a vital role in shaping the lives of young people, helping them develop new skills, build confidence, and prepare for bright futures. We want to ensure the continued success of our cadet scheme and in order to achieve this, Cadet Leaders are needed to bring their unique skills and experiences to inspire and support our young police cadets.
