The Titanic Brewery Foundation is delighted to award £10,086.22 to 7 organisations across the West Midlands, to help fund & develop projects destined to improve local communities.

The foundation, established in 2024, works to support charities, community interest companies and grassroots causes that are committed to carrying out activities that benefit residents close to Titanic Brewery, its pubs and bod café bars.
