Wellness Works

If you’re living with a health condition and want support to move into work, stay in work, or take positive steps towards become work ready, Fresh Futures Wellness Works is here for you. This is a community-led programme designed around your needs: helping you build confidence, feel less isolated, and get the support that’s right for you.

What You Can Access Through Us

Batley and Spen Health Hub

  • Our Batley and Spen Health Hub is delivered through outreach surgeries in local community spaces, making it easy for you to drop in and access support.
  • We run a series of group engagement sessions and events, open to all, where you can get involved, connect with others, and take part in wellness activities.
  • If you’re based in another part of Kirklees, we can link you with Health Hubs running in your local area

Community Champions

  • Local people who understand your community.
  • Community Champions promote the programme, raise awareness, and connect you with support if you could benefit from it.

Extra Support from Our Local Partners

Key Workers (across Kirklees)

  • One-to-one support, built around you.
  • This might be help with your wellbeing, building your confidence, help as you prepare for work, or just having someone alongside you on your journey.

Funding may be available to for everyday costs – like travel, clothes for interviews, or other things that make it easier to move forward. Contact [email protected] for more information.

Why Wellness Works Could Be Right for You

Flexible, Friendly and Barrier-Free

  • You can refer yourself, or someone else can refer you.
  • You can still use other support services at the same time.
  • You can take part in more than one Wellness Works activity.
  • You don’t need to know if you’re “ready” for work – we’ll figure it out together, step by step.

Our whole approach is about reducing barriers, being person-centred, and making sure support feels welcoming and achievable from day one.

Who Can Join?

  • You’re aged 18 or over.
  • You have at least one health condition (this doesn’t need to be formally diagnosed)

You are:

  • Looking for work, or
  • Needing support to stay in work, or
  • Interested in taking steps to move closer to work.

You’re welcome to Fresh Futures even if you’re already getting support elsewhere, Wellness Works can run alongside other services. We’ll also connect you to other local partners if we think another service is a better fit for you.

We don’t exclude anyone because of complex needs. If you’re facing challenges such as severe mental health issues, dependencies, or disabilities, we work with specialist partners who can support you effectively.

Wellness Works is here to help you take your next steps – in a way that works for you.
