What is WorkWell?
Good work can support our health and wellbeing. It can help us build confidence, develop skills, connect with others, and find purpose.
If a health condition is affecting your ability to stay in work, return to work, or find work, WorkWell can help.
Funded by the UK government and delivered by the Growth Company in Bury and Wigan, WorkWell offers personalised support to help you overcome health-related barriers to work and achieve your career goals.
