Over the next five years, the programme aims to support around 17,000 residents across Central London. It is delivered by Central London Forward in partnership with local councils and our commercial partner Seetec.

#ConnectToWork is a supported employment programme that helps people with disabilities, health conditions, or complex barriers to find meaningful work and sustain it.

The programme provides flexible, personalised support and works closely with employers to ensure success.

Thank you to all our speakers and attendees for a timely and powerful discussion.

While London is the economic heart of the UK, it also has the highest levels of poverty. Ahead of the local elections next year, this event will explore how we can tackle the inequality that scars the capital, and build a better city for all.

Over the next year, we will be getting started with the new, five-year Connect to Work programme, supporting 17,000 Central London residents to find work and Full Potential, helping care-experienced young people prepare for employment

Central London Forward also co-ordinates policy priorities on behalf of our boroughs, focusing on Housing, planning and infrastructure, employment and skills, net zero and sustainable local government.

That includes supporting 720 Central London residents into employment through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund programme, vastly exceeding targets

Over the past year, we have helped almost 2,000 people into work, delivering employment programmes that help people access the opportunities they need
