Since opening in September, the centre has become a real community asset, welcoming hundreds of people through its doors and providing vital support to help them build skills and grow their ideas. This visit underlines our commitment to investing in facilities that deliver real outcomes for local people and businesses right here in Bloxwich. “ Councillor Adrian Andrew, Deputy Leader Walsall Council The Mayor of the West Midlands praised the Launchpad’s achievements to date, highlighting its role in supporting inclusive growth, digital inclusion and local enterprise. “ It’s been great to see first-hand the real difference this hub is making. Speaking with users, entrepreneurs and business owners who are supported by the launchpad gives me a great sense of pride in the work being done here. Places like Launchpad are vital for helping people gain skills, start and grow businesses, and drive opportunity right across our region. “ Richard Parker, Mayor of the West Midlands Bloxwich Launchpad sits at the heart of Walsall’s broader regeneration programme, which saw major improvements delivered across the borough in 2025 from community facilities to parks and enterprise spaces all designed to create opportunity, support learning and enhance wellbeing for residents. Bloxwich Launchpad is located on Market Place in Bloxwich Town Centre and is open to the public Monday – Friday between 9am and 5pm.

The second is fat which can come from mono and poly saturated food sources rather than animal fats. Since fat contains more than double the number of calories in food, this should be taken in small quantities to gain or lose weight.

 

Another way to stay healthy is to give up some vices. Most people smoke and drink. Smoking has been proven to cause lung cancer and other diseases as well complications for women giving birth. Excessive drinking has also shown to do the same.

For people who don’t smoke, it is best to stay away from people who do since studies have shown that nonsmokers are also at risk of developing cancer due to secondary smoke inhalation.
