Ingeus welcomes Mayor Andy Burnham to Rochdale centre to highlight employment support services

Ingeus welcomed the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Andy Burnham, to our Rochdale centre on Friday, 9th May. The visit was an opportunity to showcase the employment support services offered as part of the Working Well suite of employment and health programmes and the positive impact made on the local community.   
 
Since 2018, the Working Well: Work and Health Programme and Working Well: Pioneer programmes have provided specialist employment support to over 31,000 people living with a disability or long-term health condition to progress towards employment, with over 14,000 moving into sustainable employment so far. Commissioned by the Greater Manchester Combined Authority (GMCA) and delivered by InWork GM, the programme is delivered across all 10 boroughs in Greater Manchester in partnership with the Growth Company and Seetec.  
 
Andy Burnham commented: “It’s everything that I'm hoping to build in Greater Manchester: an all-round, whole-person support system to help people remove some of the difficult barriers in their life, move into a positive situation, start to Live Well, and then start Working Well.” 
 
Nicola Ridings, Head of Delivery for Working Well: Work and Health Programme, said: “We were delighted for Andy Burnham to visit the Rochdale centre and be able to see firsthand how our services support local people with long-term health conditions and disabilities on their pathway towards employment.”
