Creating safer workplaces means embedding a culture of wellbeing from the very start of a person’s career, while ensuring that workers at every stage have access to practical, compassionate support when they need it most. The Lighthouse Charity provides 24/7 holistic support to our construction community on all aspects of emotional, physical and financial wellbeing.
A crucial element of the charity’s strategy is to provide a range of free and widely available reactive and proactive resources to support the industry. They offer a free and confidential 24/7 helpline, live web chat service and text facility which provides a range of information, guidance and support on a huge variety of wellbeing issues. These services are complemented by their free self-support app, along with their Lighthouse Beacons who provide a safe space for people to share concerns.
