The Support Hub is here to provide you with inspiration and tools to support you with environment action.
If there is anything you would like help with and you can't find what you're looking for within the Hub, please get in touch and we will reach out to the Network (and beyond!) to help you.
Raising Awareness
As we can't see air pollution, it's sometimes hard to engage people to understand the problem.
There is no safe level of air pollution and research by the University of Birmingham reveals that up to 2300 die prematurely in the West Midlands due to exposure to air pollution.
Air Quality Alert System
If you work with people who have poor health, you may want to raise awareness of the new Air Quality Alert System.
Anyone can sign up and can receive an alert when there is a medium - very high pollution alert.
Find out more on our Clean Air West Midlands Website.
The advice given through the Alert System has been support by NHS respiratory clinicians.
Air Quality Where You Are
We have installed 90 sensors across the region, where you can see near real time air quality data.
You can see the graphs and data to understand what air quality is like where you are.

Engaging with your community
We commissioned artist Claire Witcomb to deliver art workshops with 7 community groups across the region to help visual the health issues associated with air pollution.
Claire has produced a flipbook to showcase this artwork and provide inspiration for other artists, or community groups, to use art as a way to engage people on environmental topics.
