CLC has teamed with the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity to provide support for our operatives and their families.
Lighthouse Club is a Construction Industry Charity that helps construction workers and their families with emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support. Their mission is to make sure that no construction worker feels alone in a crisis, which they combat by offering a 24/7 confidential helpline, a by text counselling service, a self-support app and free wellbeing masterclasses.
It’s a shocking statistic that stress, depression, or anxiety accounts for 27% of all work-related illness in construction, and every single day in the UK, two construction workers take their own life. To help provide support to our operatives, CLC has become a Company Supporter of Lighthouse Club, providing the charity with an annual donation to keep up their vital work.
As an industry, we need to do more to support our workforce. With this partnership, CLC hopes to not only provide our operatives with access to free confidential support but create a positive mental health culture where employees are encouraged to talk and seek help when they need it.
