We are delighted to announce a new partnership with The Lighthouse Charity, a leading organisation dedicated to supporting the emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing of construction workers and their families.
The partnership, which will run for the next 12 months – and we hope far beyond – will see us raise funds for this much-needed charity and reflects our commitment to looking after the people who are at the heart of our industry. Construction can be a challenging sector, and Lighthouse, The Construction Charity, provides vital services that make a real difference to those facing difficulties.
Lighthouse exists to ensure no construction worker, or their family, is left alone in a crisis. It offers free, confidential, and easily accessible support to anyone in the industry, covering all aspects of wellbeing.
Some of the key services include:
- 24/7 Helpline – free, confidential support for any emotional, physical, or financial concerns.
- Text HARDHAT service – immediate one-to-one help and signposting to specialist organisations if needed.
- Construction Industry Helpline App – free, easy-to-use, and packed with guidance, resources, and connections to over 3,000 accredited support organisations.
- Wellbeing Academy – online and in-person training opportunities, ranging from self-paced learning to accredited qualifications in mental health awareness and Mental Health First Aid.
- Live Chat support – real-time, multilingual help from trained advisors.
- Lighthouse Beacons – safe, local drop-in centres across the UK and Ireland, offering confidential, face-to-face support.
- #MakeItVisible Site Visits – taking wellbeing support directly onto construction sites, reaching tradespeople on the frontline.
These services are designed to be accessible to everyone working in construction – from apprentices to site managers and business owners – providing practical help, emotional support, and potentially life-saving interventions.
At Premier Forecourts and Construction, we know that the wellbeing of construction workers is even more important than the projects we deliver. By supporting The Lighthouse Charity, we’re helping to ensure that vital resources remain available for those who need them most.
This partnership is more than a 12-month commitment – it’s the start of what we hope will be a long-term relationship with an organisation making a lasting difference in our industry. To learn more about The Lighthouse Charity and the incredible work they do, visit lighthousecharity.org.
