BARCLAYS BOOST SUPPORT FOR CONSTRUCTION COMMUNITY WITH £ 100,000 DONATION
» THE LIGHTHOUSE CONSTRUCTION Industry Charity is one of 100 UK charities to be awarded a £ 100k donation from Barclays which will help them to support the UK and Ireland construction community .
Barclays launched their 100x100 UK COVID-19 Community Relief Programme to support COVID-19 relief work in local communities . The programme , which forms part of their wider COVID-19 Community Aid Package , focuses on supporting UK charity partners who are meeting the immediate needs of people in our communities , including low income families , those facing financial hardship , isolated elderly people and key workers .
Bill Hill , CEO of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity said : ” This will make a huge difference to our construction workers in crisis , who have kept the country ’ s infrastructure going through incredibly difficult and challenging times . With two construction workers taking their own life every working day , we need to provide even more pro-active support to ensure that our workforce has access to the help they need and deserve . Our mission is that no construction worker or their family is alone in a crisis as we embark on yet another difficult year .”
The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is the only charity that provides mental , physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families . It provides a 24 / 7 Construction Industry Helpline which is the first point of contact to access a range of free and confidential support services and this is complemented by their free Construction Industry Helpline App which provides information , advice and guidance on a variety of wellbeing issues including stress , anxiety , depression , and suicidal thoughts . The charity also offers a series of free online wellbeing training sessions with topics including coping with stress , work-life balance and financial management .
Nigel Higgins , Barclays Chairman , said : “ As a bank we have been doing all we can for our customers , clients and colleagues , and we hope that by partnering with the Lighthouse Club Charity and many other charities across the UK , collectively we can ensure that as many people as possible in the communities in which we live and work are supported through this crisis .”
