Learning Partner opportunity – Coventry Women’s Partnership

Coventry Women’s Partnership are seeking a Learning Partner to support our place-based systems change programme focused on reducing gendered poverty through improved housing systems in Coventry. This work is funded by the Smallwood Trust for an initial two-year period, but our ambitions and programme are long-term and evolving.

We are not looking for a traditional evaluator. We are seeking a critical friend, a reflective, adaptive partner who can walk alongside us, help us make sense of change as it happens, and support us to embed learning, reflection, and evidence into everything we do.

On Wednesday 12th November 2025, we welcomed 21 women to FWT for our ‘Tea, Tales and Togetherness’ workshop, as part of Coventry . We started with a presentation, followed by poems, activities, competitions, and refreshments.
During the presentation, we had a powerful discussion about “what peace means to you?”, and women shared their ideas and personal thoughts. For our creative activity, every woman attending wrote one word about peace based on their own feelings and understanding. It was an engaging, inclusive, positive, and inspiring event.
We would like to thank Coventry City Council for the additional funding enabling us to rung this event. We’d also like to say a big thanks you to other organisations, including Coventry Women’s Partners, and Panahghar who promoted the event and engaged women.
