More about WorkWell
WorkWell is a prevention service aimed at supporting anyone struggling in work with a health condition, or those recently out of work due to sickness.
Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly (CIOS) is one of 15 areas chosen to pilot this new service, which is a joint scheme from the Department for Work and Pensions and the Department for Health and Social Care and delivered by organisations in the community sector. By filling out the form, there is no risk of benefit changes unless circumstances significantly change.
I don’t know what I would have done without the support of Workwell Cornwall. They have been so incredibly supportive. My job was so toxic and discriminative of my disability (Autism). I felt I couldn’t leave, and my mental health was dramatically affected.
Workwell supported me when I was at my lowest. They were my guiding light. They give people the confidence to be stronger and happier in their work life – thus creating a happier personal life.
