Bloxwich Launchpad is more than just a building—it's a community-first initiative funded by the Government’s Town Deal and delivered by Walsall Council.

Located in what was once the Post Office on Market Place, Bloxwich Launchpad is a new and innovative facility. It aims to provide a space for local people to access the latest IT technology and training after public consultation showed a need for better digital support in the town. 

The Digital Access Centre on the ground floor offers a bright, clean and welcoming environment . It's been designed to be fully accessible as well as meeting Net Zero requirements. There are 16 public-access computers, laptops, meeting rooms, accessible facilities and kitchen space for refreshments.

Upstairs, a modern business incubation centre offers hireable desk space, co-working facilities and hybrid meeting rooms. It also boasts a makerspace and reprographics room equipped with high quality printing equipment including a 3D printer and mug press for creative enterprises.

Working with local partners and community stakeholders, our mission is to empower residents with digital confidence and provide tailored support for small businesses and entrepreneurs.
