SBS
Step By Step (SBS) was a €4.3m cross-border project, supported by the European Regional Development Fund, involving 10 organisations from the UK, The Netherlands, France and Belgium
About SBS
SBS ended in early 2022 and empowered men to move from poor health &/or isolation to healthy social participation or active engagement in the labour market. It promoted a culture in which all citizens in all regions have the confidence to make sustainable positive changes in their lives benefitting themselves & society. The changes included: reduced health costs related to physical & mental health issues; better health contributing to healthier individuals, families, communities & workforce; increased labour market activity; decreased number of work days lost to poor health.
