The scheme has already seen a number of initiatives launched that support the well@work scheme three central pillars; Get Active, Eat Healthy and Health Support.

In order to support the programme KBRS have teamed up with professional experts from Inspired Living. Inspired Living was founded with the aim of raising one million pounds for Cancer Research and also to collect medical research to measure the effects of a healthy lifestyle on reducing the risks of developing various cancers and cardiac disease.
