Our Background
The Birmingham Healthy Air Coalition was set up in 2024 by Clean Air Justice Network & The Active Wellbeing Society with support from Asthma & Lung UK, acting on behalf of the UK wide Healthy Air Coalition, with the Clean Air Justice Network & The Active Wellbeing Society taking on the hosting of the coalition.
Background
The Clean Air Justice Network is a group facilitated by The Active Wellbeing Society. Bringing together like-minded organisations, campaigners and people from a wide range of professions and backgrounds to advocate for equity in air quality as a social justice matter.
Clean Air Justice Network will work with systems partners and communities to ensure that the communities most impacted by air quality are supported to tackle the inequalities and have a voice in the debate.
Background
The Active Wellbeing Society is a community benefit society and cooperative working to build healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives. We are grounded in the communities where inequalities are at their highest, and we work with them to tackle inequality and promote community development.
We want to help create a kind, inclusive society where resources are shared according to need. We recognise we all need to play our part in improving community wellbeing, including working together to meet our own wellbeing needs- including the need for food, physical activity and mental health.
We deliver a wide range of free activities and services aimed at improving wellbeing at an individual and community level. By working collaboratively with communities, we aim to bring about sustainable change on a social, environmental and economic level. This will make communities more resilient and remove barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.
