About
Legacy
The Legacy Centre of Excellence is a Business and Arts centre dedicated to innovation and the elevation of our local West Midland Community.
Over the last 3 years we have worked hard in designing an environment where both creatives and entrepreneurs can expand and develop their skills giving them the confidence to thrive in competitive markets. Our events and workshop sessions have been extremely popular and we are so proud of the level of progress we have been able to achieve.
​
We have partnered with organisations such as West Midlands combined Authority, National Grid and the Arts Council as well as smaller local organisations to provide the best services within the Arts & Business sector. As a result, we have been able to receive NPO status in a very short period of time, which has been an amazing achievement for us.
​
Leading up to us receiving NPO we passionately acted as a support to our local community through creative engagement and business ventures. Our other achievements include hosting the likes of Sir Trevor McDonald OBE, David Olusoga OBE, Gina Yashere, Andy Street CBE and David Rodigan. We were also selected as a location for Birmingham Commonwealth Games associated events in 2022 and hosted the Commonwealth Games Organising Committee for meetings and conferences.
​
Our efforts have allowed us to build up a strong rapport within our local community and beyond. These connections have contributed to our work and mission.
