In recognition of World Mental Health Day 2025 we are pleased to announce our support and partnership with Mates in Mind.
Suicide in men is 3 times more likely than that for women and being that the construction industry is made up of around 85% men it is important that we get the message across. Suicide is the single leading cause of death for men under 50.
As a company we continue to support our staff through the Health Assured EAP Employee Assistance Programme.
Through the programme all of our staff have 24/7 access to support, which enables them to speak to trained staff and counsellors for advice on a whole range of topics from financial worries to wellbeing and health. We actively discuss the programme with our team and encourage them to speak out if they have concerns.
Mates in mind will be our appointed charity of the year for next year. We shall be undertaking a range of events throughout 2026 starting with our directors Jack & Ben competing in the Manchester Marathon in April, to raise money for this fantastic cause and to raise awareness of Mental Health so that people feel that they can speak up and seek help.
