Petition to Secure Office Space for the MEKA Programme’s Expansion in Birmingham and the West Midlands
We, the undersigned, call upon MP's to support the MEKA Programme in securing a dedicated office space to enhance its critical work in fostering entrepreneurship, skill development, and economic growth in Birmingham and the West Midlands.
The MEKA Programme has made significant contributions by:
- Providing training, mentorship, and resources to aspiring entrepreneurs and small businesses.
- Partnering with universities to offer students real-world business experience through impactful projects.
- Supporting local job creation, skill-building, and innovation in the region.
The lack of a permanent office space limits the programme’s ability to:
- Expand its services to more businesses and individuals.
- Host workshops and events for students, professionals, and entrepreneurs.
- Create a thriving hub for collaboration, innovation, and skill development.
We believe that securing a suitable facility will amplify the programme’s impact, helping Birmingham become a leading centre for entrepreneurship, economic growth, and innovation.
We urge you to advocate for this essential resource to ensure the MEKA Programme can continue transforming lives and contributing to the region’s prosperity.
