The Active Wellbeing Society is a community benefit society and cooperative working to develop healthy, happy communities living active and connected lives.

Our vision is for a society where people have the autonomy, capacity, resources and skills to become the architects of their own destiny; where our individual wellbeing is recognised as being bound up in our collective responsibility to and dependency on each other; and where all of us feel empowered as agents of social change to make a difference - whether at an individual level or more widely.

By working collaboratively with communities, we aim to bring about sustainable change on an social, environmental and economic level; to do the social knitting required to create stronger and more resilient communities and to support communities to identify, mitigate and remove the barriers that prevent them from living active and connected lives.

Our ‘Big Feed’ project brings people together over food, providing a safe, welcoming space at our community cafes. People can enjoy a hearty meal created from surplus food, whilst spending time with others in their community. Through the role of Project Brum Community Food Assistant, you will develop skills in cooking, catering, and hospitality, as well as working with vulnerable communities to tackle food poverty and reduce food waste. Previous experience isn't essential, as long as you have a passion for cooking and people

This is a fantastic opportunity for young people to gain valuable experience of working alongside communities. You will gain valuable work skills and receive bespoke employability training to compliment the day to day work you will be involved with.
