London Works for Better Health
Health and employment is a key priority for the LHC. It launched the London Works for Better Health programme in 2003 (initially with sponsorship from the King's Fund, now funded by the London Development Agency) with three fundamental and ambitious aims:
- promote healthy employment in London
- improve health and reduce health inequalities in London through work and enterprise
- gather and disseminate intelligence on work/health related research and activities

In 2008 we launched the
Good Jobs - good for health, good for business camapign
The LHC is delivering on behalf of the European Programmes Management Unit (EPMU) a project to incorporate health as a cross-cutting theme into the 2007-2013 London European Social Fund Programme. Through its London Works for Better Health programme the LHC will demonstrate to ESF providers that health and work are inextricably linked and that skills and good jobs can reduce health inequalities and improve the health of all Londoners. The project will support providers to maximise health outcomes for their participants in practical ways.
