💛 We’re delighted to see the impact of our first aid session with Hope Community Centre!

Combining practical, life-saving skills with opportunities to practise English is a great way to build confidence, encourage connections and support learning in a welcoming environment.

It’s wonderful to hear how the session brought women together, encouraged conversation and helped build confidence along the way.

Thank you to Hope for the opportunity to work together and to everyone who took part so enthusiastically.

Sessions like these show how learning new skills can go hand in hand with building friendships, confidence and a stronger sense of community 👏

💻 It’s Get Online Week 2026! 🌐

Getting online can open up a world of opportunities — from finding a job and managing money to accessing health services and staying connected with friends and family!

But not everyone feels confident using digital technology, and that’s where support can make a real difference.

This Get Online Week, let’s help more people build their digital skills, grow in confidence and discover the benefits of being online safely.

🤝 Across Wolverhampton, free community activities and friendly, practical support are available to help people develop their digital skills at their own pace.

📱 Whether it’s learning to use the NHS App, exploring online safety, accessing employment support or simply getting more comfortable with technology, there’s support available.

Everyone deserves the opportunity to get connected and feel confident online!

A proud first few months for Access to Business as we celebrate our £19,960 National Lottery cheque! 🎉

This funding supports our WAVES project (Wolverhampton Active Volunteering Engagement Support), helping people and communities across Wolverhampton make a positive difference. 💙

The project is already off to a hugely successful start! Our volunteers have been working hard in our new community garden, and participants have learned new skills in IT and British Sign Language (BSL), enjoyed social trips to landmarks across Wolverhampton and attended wellbeing walks. 🌱

It’s wonderful to see everyone coming together, building confidence, learning and making new connections.

A special thank you to The Craft Gardeners for supporting us with our community garden and helping our volunteers develop their gardening skills! 🌻 The Crafty Gardener

A huge thank you to the National Lottery for this funding and to every National Lottery player who makes grants like ours possible. Without your support, our grant and the difference it’s making to people’s lives wouldn’t have been possible. 🙌

We still have spaces available and would love for you to join us! To find out more, contact Jess:
