Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity
Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity
The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is the only charity that provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families.
Two construction workers take their own life every single working day in the UK and Ireland so a crucial element of the charity’s strategy is to provide a wide range of free and widely available pro-active resources to support both individuals and organisations.
The charity provides a 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline which provides a range of free and confidential support, which is complemented by their free Self Support App. Their free text HARDHAT to 85258 service provides yet another route to support, along with their Lighthouse Beacons who offer a safe space for people to share experiences.

They also offer a variety of free construction focussed training programmes ranging from hour long interactive wellbeing sessions through to the MHFA England accredited/approved Mental Health First Aider courses.
Their latest campaign; Help Inside the Hard Hat aims to raise awareness of mental health issues in the construction industry and you can join the campaign for better mental health by downloading free resources and site hoardings artwork from their website.
All of their services are completely free, you do not need to pay any fees or membership/subscription.
