Revd. James Langstaff, Associate Bishop in the Diocese of Birmingham.
The annual Civic Service is a cherished tradition that brings together people from across the Royal Town in a spirit of unity, reflection, and community. It provides an opportunity to celebrate the individuals, charities, faith groups, and organisations whose dedication and commitment help make Sutton Coldfield such a vibrant and welcoming place to live.
Speaking after the event, Councillor Raut said:
“It was a pleasure to welcome civic guests, residents, and representatives of our wonderful local charities, faith groups, and community organisations to this year’s Civic Sunday. Events like these remind us of the strength of our community and the incredible contribution made by so many people who work tirelessly to support others and enrich life across our Royal Town.”
