Free Connect to Work Breakfast Briefing for employers in construction, retrofit, sport and fitness, catering and hospitality. 

Connect to Work is a free WECA-funded programme launching in October 2026. It supports people with long-term health conditions, disabilities and other challenges to find and keep work — while helping employers discover motivated, supported candidates for real opportunities. 

The Restore Trust, working with The Green Register and other partners, will support around 100 people over the coming months into sustainable employment across construction, retrofit, sport and fitness, catering and hospitality. 

Register your free place for the breakfast briefing and hear how your organisation can offer opportunities, build your workforce and support someone to start again.
