The WorkWell programme - East Birmingham and North Solihull is one of 14 vanguard areas selected to provide joined up, early intervention work, bringing together health, employment and community organisations to support people who are unemployed or employed but at risk of losing their job due to health conditions.
We can't achieve our vision alone. Our key ambitions can only be achieved by working in partnership. The Council plays a key role as convenor of partnership working:
Across public, private, voluntary, and community sectors in Solihull.
Sub-regionally with the Birmingham and Solihull Integrated Care System.
Regionally as a strong and active member of the West Midlands Combined Authority, through joint commissioning to improve outcomes for children and young people and through regional working to share and improve practice in Adult Social Care, housing and other service areas.
Work with public and private sector organisations to promote and accelerate the uptake of low-carbon technology through partnerships, events and supporting the electric vehicle supply chain.
Some examples, supporting our Council Plan ambitions, include:
Work with the Voluntary and Community Sector to support local people through key projects, such as the Warm Welcome network and Holiday Activity and Food Programme.
Work with partners to develop plans for, and mobilising to deliver, a community, health and retail hub in Kinghurst village centre.
