STARSfor

Businesses can work towards accreditation for their Travel Plan using an online system and show their commitment to active travel. Having a Travel Plan links with the Workplace Wellbeing Charter http://www.wellbeingcharter.org.uk/index.php ‘For many employers, the costs of ill-health, which, given the ageing population and the increase in chronic disease, will only grow in the absence

  • f intervention, is enough to justify a comprehensive wellness scheme’.
