A new training academy aimed at helping disadvantaged people in the West Country find work has been launched by the region's metro mayor, Dan Norris.
The West of England Peer Academy will support 50 people facing challenges with their mental health, homelessness or overcoming addiction to find employment.
The academy is being funded by £80,000 from the West of England Combined Authority (Weca), led by Mr Norris, and is being delivered by Bath charity Developing Health and Independence.
