Mentoring comes in various forms, it can be on a 1-2-1 basis or part of a structured programme, it can be formal or informal, it can be in person or virtual – for this programme our definition is broad and inclusive.

There are over 7,000 micro businesses in Wolverhampton, and a further 1,000 small, medium and large businesses. Each day can bring challenges, highs and lows, a feeling you’re on your own. But there are many with experience, many who have dealt with the challenges that you may be currently facing, some who may have a built a business from nothing or restructured a struggling business, and others who have built a wealth of experience from the highs and lows of their business journey.

We have tapped into these businesses to create a pool of experienced, diverse, and multi sector individuals. Alongside these we have engaged with more than 12 organisations, each of which have a focus on supporting the growth of micro and small businesses. Each month over an informal networking lunch you will hear from a mix of these mentors and organisations.
