More than 500 people struggling with their health across Cornwall have received free support to return to work.

NHS Cornwall and Isles of Scilly said the area was one of 15 benefiting from WorkWell funding from the government to help people to stay in or return to work.

It said the initiative included a new app providing mental healthcare, which offered users personalised 1-2-1 support and advice.

NHS lead for WorkWell Cornwall and Isles of Scilly Jessie Leigh said: "We are proud to have helped more than 550 people so far, and it is wonderful they want to share their stories to encourage others to get help."

Daniel Stuart, a former farrier, was out of work after an accident.
