Colleagues at our Manchester office hosted a wellbeing awareness session delivered by The Lighthouse Charity, a leading provider of emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community across the UK and Ireland.

The session was well attended, with more than 40 participants, including attendees from other local businesses, reflecting strong local interest and engagement in workforce wellbeing. The Lighthouse Charity outlined its comprehensive support offer, which includes a confidential 24/7 helpline, digital and text based services, a self help wellbeing app, community based Lighthouse Beacons and specialist mental health and wellbeing training through the Wellbeing Academy.

The session reinforced the charity’s core mission of ensuring no one within the construction sector faces crisis alone. Drawing on The Lighthouse Charity’s expertise and strong engagement from colleagues and local attendees, it contributed to open discussion and increased awareness of mental health and wellbeing across the sector, including the wider responsibilities of the industry in supporting workforce wellbeing across both our own business and the supply chain.

Engagements such as this support our ongoing commitment to employee wellbeing, early intervention and open dialogue around mental health.
