Wesport (West of England Sport Trust) is passionate about empowering people and communities through physical activity. The Charity supports organisations to improve the delivery of sport and physical activity initiatives in the West of England. The ripple effect of staying active is undeniable. Beyond the well-documented physical and mental benefits, studies link exercise to stronger relationships, academic/workplace success, a more integrated social life, and even reduced crime rates.

The organisation is the Active Partnership for this region, working with authorities in Bath and North East Somerset, Bristol, North Somerset, and South Gloucestershire. The trust’s mission is to inspire active lives, creating conditions wherever possible to help everyone move more. They look to establish conditions for long-term change, creating inclusive structures and enabling everyone to be physically active.

Additionally, they are spokespeople and representatives for the Charity at public events and conferences.

A background in management roles, or strategic planning projects is required, alongside knowledge of the West of England.
