William Birch is delighted to become a company supporter of The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. They are the only charity that provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families in the UK and Ireland.
A crucial element of their strategy is to provide a wide range of free and widely available pro-active resources to support the industry.
They offer a free and confidential 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline, live chat service and text HARDHAT facility which provides a range of information, guidance and support on a huge variety of wellbeing issues. These services are complemented by a free Self Support App which offers another route to support, along with their Lighthouse Beacons which provide a safe space for people to share concerns.
Gemma Shahjahan, Director said “we are pleased to support this incredible organisation, which plays such a pivotal role in supporting individuals on their mental health journey. Together, we hope we can help reduce stigma and provide essential resources to those in need.”
The business is planning additional training for all staff to upskill in Mental Health Awareness, having already invested in training 8 Mental Health First Aiders across the business, accredited by MHFA England.
