What is Thriving at Work?

The project aims to support more people to thrive at work. It has a particular focus on supporting inclusive workplaces that can unlock the potential of staff who are neurodiverse, disabled or experience mental health challenges.

Delivered through a network of specialist partners, we can offer 3 packages of support to businesses and people:

All support is free to access and available across York, North Yorkshire and East Riding.

The vision for the Thriving at Work project is inclusive, accessible and healthy workplaces that increase productivity and create an environment where all employees can thrive.

Funding

This project is part-funded by the European Social Fund. It is supported locally with match-funding provided by North Yorkshire County Council, City of York Council, East Riding of Yorkshire Council and HEY Smile Foundation.

The project is led by Better Connect and delivered through our specialist partnership.
