This post is hosted by The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) on behalf of the Birmingham and Solihull Active Communities.
Overview
The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is a new, independent social enterprise and a registered Community Benefit Society, which works with some of the poorest communities in Birmingham and beyond to improve people’s health and wellbeing through physical activity. It delivers services on behalf of Birmingham City Council and was previously known as the Birmingham Wellbeing Service.
Its mission is to:
Use physical activity, guided by innovation, collaboration and insight, to do the collaborating and development required to create stronger and more resilient communities.
Background to Local Delivery Pilots in Birmingham and Solihull
Birmingham City Council in partnership with Solihull MBC tendered to become a Sport England Local Delivery Pilot area. In December 2017 we were informed that our proposal, Active Communities, had been successfully chosen as one of twelve pilot areas across England. TAWS will act as the accountable body for the programme. The post holder will be accountable to Local Delivery Pilot Programme Board.
Local Delivery Pilots are a strategic investment by Sport England, which aim to understand how we can best help people get active in their communities improving their health, wellbeing and resilience.
Our Vision Statement for the Birmingham and Solihull Local Delivery Pilot Programme is:
Tackling inactivity, through innovation, collaboration and insight, to do the social knitting, enabling citizens, communities and neighbourhoods to become integrated, resilient and thriving.
We have identified below, four outcomes, which we believe reflect the step changes required to bringing about our vision/transformational statement and make a difference through this Sport England Pilot.
Outcome 1
The “unusual suspects” living in seldom heard communities and places, who do not traditionally access physical activity, report improved health and quality of life.
Outcome 2
Through activity, co-creation and facilitation, citizens will have a sense of place and belonging, resulting in invigorated, strong and resilient communities.
Outcome 3
Sport England and our stakeholders have clearer insight into the impact and effectiveness of a whole system approach to tackling inactivity with citizens, community and place, through integrated data collection and analysis of past, current and future programmes.
Outcome 4
Through vision, leadership and co-creation, Birmingham and Solihull have an effective, dynamic and responsive, whole systems approach to provoking physical activity, integrating with strategic policy decisions; the physical environment; organisations; institutions; citizens, communities and place.

Coventry has seen an extraordinary rise in the number of homeless people and in temporary accommodation in the last few years. The recent report 'Home of Her Own' (July 2019) by Women's Budget Group (produced in collaboration with Coventry Women's Partnership) identified that 'for Coventry, as in most of the country, housing benefit is not covering full rents in any of the bedroom entitlements – even for the cheapest rents'. Aside from refuge services for women fleeing domestic violence (which are already oversubscribed), there are currently no women-only accommodation options for females in Coventry.
Working in partnership with Coventry Haven Women’s Aid, KairosWWT is leading a project to gain further understanding and evidence of women’s housing across the City. The aim of this new project is:
1) Provide tailored, direct support to groups for women whom housing services are often hard to access, including rough sleepers, women with multiple/complex needs, BME women, those with no recourse to public funds and/or whose economic circumstances disqualify them from housing-related support, as well as women at risk of homelessness or losing tenancies.
2) Reduce number of women rough sleeping or becoming homeless and increase number of women accessing safe, appropriate accommodation & maintaining tenancies
3) Increase level of gender and trauma-informed support in Coventry delivered by women’s organisations.
This role will support women with multiple and complex needs who are currently homeless in Coventry.
This post is restricted to female applicants only under Section 9 of the Equality Act 2010.
