Join us on Monday 12 January at 10:00am at the Town Hall for an awareness session on the Ray-Ban Meta Glasses.

Sunny Bains will be joining us to show how the glasses work, chat through the benefits they can offer, and answer any questions you may have. It’s a great chance to see the technology up close and find out how it could help in everyday life.

Everyone is very welcome β€” we’d love to see you there! 😊 Please let the office know that you will be coming πŸ‘

A huge thank you to everyone who came out to our AGM yesterday! We truly appreciate your time and support.

A special shout-out to our amazing volunteers and staff β€” your hard work, and dedication kept everything running smoothly on the day, we really couldn't do any of this without you.

We were honoured to welcome the Mayor of Sandwell, and we sincerely thank him for joining us and supporting our event.

We’d also like to extend our gratitude to our exhibitors for sharing their amazing work, and to our inspiring guest speaker, Barrie from Beacon Centre who gave us an unforgettable insight into his Paralympics journey. πŸ…
