Welcome to Foyle Health @ Work

Derry Healthy Cities are the first voluntary-charitable organisation in Northern Ireland to introduce a project specifically targeted at workplace health.

Through funding from Awards for All and the Public Health Agency, the Foyle Health at Work Initiative supports employers to develop and implement the health promoting workplace concept thereby improving working conditions and enabling staff to remain in employment longer. We work with employers to agree the employer commitment to action followed by staff health needs analysis and company action plan.

FH@WP encourages employers in the areas of Strabane, Derry/Londonderry and Limavady to foster positive attitudes to the holistic health of their employees and not just their physical health and safety.
