Communities in Sync (CIS) is a dynamic not for profit partnership of 20 quality health, social care and well-being providers working together to improve the lives of people in the West Midlands. We deliver a range of services through our projects to support people with health and social care needs.
We provide a range of counselling, talking therapy and bereavement support to Sandwell residents who are struggling with their mental health, including those from BAME, older people, refugee and migrant communities. We provide access to therapists with a range of language skills.
Wider determinants of health (WDH) are a range of social, environmental and economic factors which impact directly on the health (physical and mental) of the population. We deliver a range of services which address some of these wider determinants of health and that help to support people who are in need.
The Birmingham Bereavement and Wellbeing service offers support to people who are bereaved including culturally relevant support. Bereavement officers work alongside you, providing support on a one to one basis.
Providing independent advocacy and independent living skills training to parents with learning disabilities and/or autism who are subject to, or at risk of interventions from Children’s Services.
Our Previous Projects
The Sandwell Community Offer delivered wellbeing support through our Community Navigators who supported people in the community to navigate and access services. We provided wrap-around support services to over 1300 residents.
From April 2023 to October 2024, Volunteering Plus supported Sandwell residents who wanted to become volunteers, giving them the resources and tools they needed to find and complete meaningful volunteer opportunities, as well as extra support to overcome barriers to getting involved.
From March 2022 - May 2023, we supported 359 Sandwell residents who were struggling with their mental health to have choice and control over their support options (e.g. counselling, peer support, culturally relevant support). The final evaluation report, which shows the impact this project had, and includes feedback, leaning and amazing Case Studies, is now available to read.
The Caring for Carers service started as a pilot in October 2019 and following it's success ran until September 2023. It provided individually tailored bereavement support to carers who would soon lose the person they cared for or who had already lost the person they cared for. This project was for Birmingham residents. We now deliver support to anyone bereaved in Birmingham (more info...)
