Lighthouse - The Construction Industry Charity

Staff at CASE Shetland had an introduction today to the work of Lighthouse, the UKs only charity dedicated to supporting the needs of the construction industry. Lighthouse is entirely funded by the construction industry and offers support not only to workers in times of need, but their families too.

At a time when living costs are on the rise and the stresses and pressures associated with that, plus caring responsibilities, relationships and other factors can make life stressful, it’s important to know where to turn when we need help.

Lighthouse offers support with emotional, physical and financial wellbeing, through a variety of channels. Their 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline is free and confidential on 0345 605 1956, or there’s a Live Web Chat Service accessible through the website and available in over 120 languages.

There is also a text service, which is particularly useful if it’s hard to find the time to talk, or if texting is easier - text ‘HARDHAT’ to 85258

The self support app is the ‘ultimate self-help tool’ offering advice and coping strategies and signposting to expert support.
