The Waiting Room
Birmingham
The Waiting Room provides visitors with links to 100’s of Birmingham and Solihull based services that can help people take more control of their own health and wellbeing.
Developed by Common Unity and Forward For Life, TWR provides you with links to 100’s of Birmingham and Solihull based services that can help you take more control of your own health and wellbeing. It also provides links to key national organisations that can help you be more informed of the options available.
We work hard to highlight services that can best meet your needs, whatever your needs – If you need to find services that provide housing, or welfare benefit advice, or educational support, or employment support, safeguarding links or knowledge about faith organisations, The Waiting Room puts this information and much more at your fingertips.
Supported by Birmingham Public Health and the NHS for Birmingham and Solihull, The Waiting Room is the health and wellbeing directory for you and your communities.
Through sharing TWR across Birmingham and Solihull we can all start to make a real difference to everybody’s health and wellbeing.

Forward For Life
Forward For Life operates with the core belief that although there are many challenges that exist across and within our communities, solutions to these challenges are also to be found across and within our communities.
With an overall vision of eradicating suicide, we adopt forward thinking approaches to reduce inequalities and promote opportunities for enhanced well-being and improved quality of life – We believe this is both an achievable expectation across all our communities and the right of each and every individual within.
Our upstream approach achieves both indirect and direct benefits for our communities, and with this in mind, we ensure that our partners, our associates and others’ working alongside us have the same core belief.
