NHS Tayside Workplace Health Improvement Fund
About the fund
NHS Tayside Workplace Health Improvement Fund aims to support Small to Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and larger workplaces who are not currently registered for the Healthy Working Lives (HWL)Award Programme to provide initiatives that help to raise the profile of health and wellbeing for their workers. Please note organisations must be within the NHS Tayside Board area and the fund is not available to government funded workplaces such as NHS and Local Authorities. Larger organisations ie those with 250 or more staff will be expected to have at least a third of their staff earning under an annual salary of £20,000 and focus their health and wellbeing initiatives on these lower paid workers. The maximum grant available to each workplace is £250.
