“We are delighted to have been chosen to pilot the national WorkWell scheme in Bristol, North Somerset and South Gloucestershire. WorkWell is a pioneering scheme that will bring together local authorities, health, education, community and voluntary services to provide tailored support to people at risk of leaving work or being unable to return after a period of sickness. By working with people to tackle the barriers that can lead to economic activity, the scheme promises to change lives for the better while helping to grow the local economy.”

Bristol City Councils plans for the Work Well service will be outlined here soon.
