FOCC Black Country - Charity 1097318

Area: The Black Country is situated in the industrial heartlands of the West Midlands conurbation approximately 8 miles from Birmingham. Our central position in the country gives us access to a wide range of amenities, most of which the children in our groups have sampled.

Group Coordinator: Howard Barber - tel: 01384 - 457420 - email

General background: FOCC Black Country was set up in late 2001, with our first visit of 12 children taking place in June 2002.

2009 marks the 3rd visit for our second group of children from Mogilev. The visit took place during June / July and a great time was had by all concerned.
 
We are always glad to hear from anyone who may wish to become involved as a Host family, Helper, Fundraiser or Sponsor. We are currently seeking 3 new Host families for our 2010 visit, so if you are at all interested, please contact us through the Group Co-ordinator.
