Wilson James has become an official Annual Company Supporter of the Lighthouse Club.

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

Among the services they offer include:

• 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline – a free and confidential 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline which is a free Employee Assistance Programme for the industry.
• Construction Industry Helpline App –The 24/7 helpline is complemented by the free Construction Industry Helpline App which is the ultimate self-help tool. It is aimed at those who may not feel comfortable speaking with someone or would like more information about how they can help themselves before taking the next step in seeking professional help.
• Construction Focused Wellbeing and Mental Health Training – they also offer a variety of free construction focused training programmes ranging from hour long interactive wellbeing sessions through to the MHFA England approved Mental Health First Aider course.

Keith Winterflood, Managing Director for Construction, said: “Our support of the Lighthouse Club underscores Wilson James’ aspiration to lead in improving the health and well-being of our workforce.

“We all experience many challenges throughout our lives, which can lead to worry and stress, so we felt the additional help and support offered by the Lighthouse Club helps us rise to the challenge of creating a healthier, happier workplace for all.”
