About this event

Shaw Trust invites you to a free Community Musculoskeletal MSK Support Day, a one-stop event designed to support your health, wellbeing, work and independence.

If you ’re struggling with a joint, bone, or muscle pain, looking for work, or just want to see what local services are out there to support you, this event brings everything together in one easy place.

No diagnosis required!

What’s happening on the day?

You’ll find lots support including:

  • Friendly expert advice from physios and other health professionals on managing pain, moving better, and staying active.
  • Job support for everyone, whether you’re looking for a new job or need a hand with your current one – all tailored to your health and what you want to achieve.
  • Guidance from local council and partners who can help with things like:
  • Benefits and money advice
  • Housing and adult learning opportunities
  • Mental health and wellbeing support
  • Connecting you with local activities and groups (social prescribing)
  • Volunteering and local chances to get involved
 

If you’re eligible, attending the event could lead to…

  • Your own health and job coach – Get 1-to-1 support to help you move forward — from finding work that suits your health and skills to managing challenges in your current role.
  • Holistic health support – Receive up to 6 months of free physiotherapy, plus access to complementary and holistic therapies tailored to your needs.
  • Boost your physical health – Enjoy 6 months of free gym membership to help improve your strength, mobility and overall wellbeing.
  • Integrated support with the NHS – Our support is joined up with local NHS teams meaning you won’t need to juggle health and employment support separately. We work together to help you succeed.

You’ll meet a range of partners (varies by location)

Jobcentre Plus, Citizens Advice, local councils, housing and adult learning teams, talking therapies, leisure centres, Shaw Trust employment teams, and many more.
