Building Better Opportunities

Community Matters

Our Community Matters programme works with a wide network of local, regional and national delivery partners who have experience of working with vulnerable communities and improving economic and social conditions for individuals.

Community Matters

The Building Better Opportunities programme is funded by The National Lottery Community Fund and the European Social Fund (ESF) who are co-investing in local projects tackling the root causes of worklessness, promoting social inclusion and driving local jobs and growth.

Community Matters is one of four projects within this programme across the Black Country and will help people across Walsall, Wolverhampton, Dudley and Sandwell move into or closer to employment by developing their skills and confidence.

Community Matters is managed by the Heart of England Community Foundation in partnership with local organisations across the Black Country.

Access to Business is one of those partners. We will be working alongside the following partners to deliver the project; Ideal For All, Just Straight Talk, SWEDA, TLC College and WELL Associates.

Access to Business will be delivering the following specific activities….
