The city falls 13th in ratings for education deprivation, eighth for income deprivation, fifth for youth violence in the West Midlands and sixth for employment deprivation. Wolverhampton, like so many cities around the country, is experiencing high levels of inequalities which is impacting unemployment rates, food poverty statistics and people’s mental health.

With over 36 different educational and community outreach programmes the Foundation hopes to continue to positively impact the lives of thousands of people specifically focusing on improving employment opportunities, reducing food poverty rates and supporting mental health and wellbeing across all ages to counteract the impacts of the global pandemic. Wolves Foundation use the power of Wolves to motivate, educate and inspire local people and communities across Wolverhampton to change their lives for the better. Our outreach projects are designed to work with a variety of partners within the city to encourage children, young people, and adults to unite with like-minded people in an inclusive environment.
