WOLVES MARTIAL ARTS COMMUNITY CIO 

We are a Charity based in Wolverhampton, and we offer free courses throughout the year to give individuals the chance to go to a safe space, meet new people, and learn new skills through mixed martial arts. Not only does this give individuals some where to go and learn, we are helping to build friendships and making our local community a better area to live.
