Bloxwich Launchpad, due to open in Spring 2025, will be housed in the former Bloxwich Post Office on Market Place, with the building currently undergoing refurbishment. The centre will offer support and training for people to increase their digital skills and employability, and the first floor will also serve as a business incubator for people with a business idea they need support with, or small businesses that need help to grow.

Free taster sessions are taking place at Bloxwich Library from Tuesday 15 October. Email launchpadbloxwich@walsall.gov.uk or call 01922 650600 to book.
