What is the Hub?
The Social Purpose Hub draws on the knowledge and research skills within the Faculty of Arts, Business and Social Sciences.
The Hub has been set up to respond to requests from local Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise (VCFSE) organisations to deliver discrete activities that benefit the work of the organisation and the residents within the local community.
Students will work on the activities, either as individuals or in small teams, under the of supervision of academic staff.

What we offer
We offer support with activities to help local VCFSE organisations meet the needs of their service using communities. These could include:
- Project work;
- Data analysis;
- Primary research;
- Service evaluation;
- Promotional materials.
How to get support from the hub
- The Hub is available to local VCFSE organisations who deliver welfare services to communities within the Wolverhampton area.
- Projects will normally be discrete and short-term, with an end date of less than a year.
- Contact Dr Jane Booth via the button below, or by clicking here.

What we do not offer
We are not able to offer support for the delivery of large scale projects or for organisations who have funding for delivering services – unless that activity is reliant on the recruitment of volunteers, which our students could help with.
Please note there may be reduced capacity during the University's break periods.
