This year akp have taken the step to become a Company Supporter of The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity

Having supported the charity through initiatives and events in the past, 2023 sees akp commit to becoming a full Company Supporter, something which they would encourage any construction related business to sign up to or support in whatever way they can.

The only charity that provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families, the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity provides a wide range of free and widely available pro-active resources to support the industry.

Resource include 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 concerns.

They also offer a variety of free construction focussed training programmes ranging from hour long interactive wellbeing sessions through to the MHFA England 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.
