We want someone to guide us through innovation (cos it's hard), make us stronger and braver (cos we have a lot to do) and share what we've learned (so we save everyone else the time and hassle). We'll challenge and support you and you'll be part of a movement for a fairer world'. Introduction to The Active Wellbeing Society The Active Wellbeing Society (TAWS) is an 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. You may like to watch this introductory video which showcases the positive work of The Active Wellbeing Society: TAWS Launch October 2018 - YouTube 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.
