Willenhall is based around a large council housing estate mainly built in the post Second World War period. Today it is among the 5% most deprived areas in England. Nevertheless, there is a strong community spirit here, embodied in the Betty Ennis Foundation, a charity named after a well-known community activist who died in 2019 that seeks to improve the lives of local people. The Betty Ennis Hub, part of Willenhall's shopping precinct, sells upcycled homeware items and home accessories as part of the charity's activities. The building has been used as a charity shop for some time but previously housed Willenhall Library (which moved to a different site nearby).
