What is the Wolverhampton Community and Wellbeing Hub Service?

Funded by Public Health, Wolverhampton Community and Wellbeing Hub delivers preventative and wellbeing services for anyone in the Wolverhampton community who wants to improve their emotional and mental wellbeing. Host providers, Creative Support, work in partnership with ACCI, BME Housing Consortium, Rethink the WVSC and Positive Participation, to provide support that focusses on enabling people to live a fulfilled life.

The Hub operates over two locations in Wolverhampton, Epic Café, in the heart of the city centre, and The Boot Factory, just on the outskirts. We work flexibly over Monday to Friday, with some evenings and weekends, to suit people’s need.
