Hull and East Yorkshire to receive £11.7 million to help disabled people into work
Thousands of people in the region could benefit from the Government’s Connect to Work programme
Hull and East Yorkshire is set to receive up to £11.7 million from the Government to help disabled people and those with health conditions find work.
The funding is part of the national Connect to Work programme, backed by £300 million across England and Wales and expected to support more than 75,000 people.
Around 3,400 people in Hull and East Yorkshire are expected to benefit. Organisations to deliver the programme locally are yet to be appointed, with a tender process due to take place.
Employment Minister and Hull North and Cottingham MP Dame Diana Johnson said the programme will provide tailored support to help people move into work.
