The UK Government’s Pathways to Work Innovation Fund is a call to action for the third, private, and public sectors to come forward with ambitious, creative ideas to help disabled people and those with health conditions get into, and continue to, work.

The Fund will open for bids in September, with organisations across the UK invited to apply for funding to test new approaches to employment support.

The Fund forms part of the UK Government’s commitment to break down barriers to opportunity for disabled people, backed by £3.5 billion in tailored employment support. This includes intensive, one-to-one job help from specialist advisers in their own communities, an approach focused on “meeting people where they are”, alongside a joined-up work and health offer.

Ahead of the Fund’s opening, DWP in Scotland (alongside DWP Pathways to Work Policy Teams) is hosting an information webinar on Tuesday 25 August, 2pm – 2:45pm. The webinar is open to third sector groups and organisations, and aims to provide an opportunity for them to ask any questions about the Fund.
