Connect to Work

Launched in April 2025, Connect to Work is aimed at helping disabled people and those with health conditions and additional support needs into work. It will support 100,000 people across the country, 10,800 of which will be in West London, over a period of 5 years. 

Through Connect to Work, those who are currently out of work, struggling to retain sustainable work, or at risk of leaving work will get support through:

  • Matching people with job opportunities that suit their needs and circumstances,

  • Providing essential skills training to help people get into and on at work,

  • Working with employers to recruit and retain disabled workers.

The West London Alliance Partnership covers Ealing, Barnet, Harrow, Hillingdon, Brent, Hammersmith and Fulham, and Hounslow Local Authorities. The Connect to Work service will be delivered by Shaw Trust.
