The Kirklees Employment & Skills Service, on behalf of Kirklees Council, is pleased to announce the launch of the Healthy Working Life (HWL) Community Grants Programme, part of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority's Economic Inactivity Trailblazer.

This fund supports community-based projects that help economically inactive residents improve their wellbeing, build confidence and take early steps towards skills, training or employment.

We are looking to support innovative activity by Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprise (VCSE) organisations, grassroots groups and local delivery partners who can engage residents with complex barriers and help them begin their journey towards healthier, more confident and more active lives

Kirklees Council is partnering with Third Sector Leaders (TSL) to support the successful delivery of this fund. As part of their role, TSL will work closely with prospective applicants, offering tailored advice, practical guidance, and dedicated support to help shape and develop grant ideas. This collaborative approach is designed to ensure that applicants feel confident, informed, and well prepared throughout the application process.

This activity is part of Healthy Working Life, a joint programme of the West Yorkshire Combined Authority and NHS West Yorkshire Integrated Care Board.
