The project will deliver funded basic skills training, level 2 and level 3 Workplace Health Champion qualifications to employees in SME’s across Lancashire, empowering them with tools, resources and guidance to drive positive change in their organisation. As a result, a community of upskilled and passionate Workplace Health Champions will work collaboratively with our delivery partners and each other to continue to inspire and motivate their colleagues to live happier, healthier lives.
