Each year we choose a worthwhile organisation and dedicate our colleague and company fundraising to this charity. For FY18/19 it was decided that alongside Story Contracting, we would pledge to support Mind for two years (until 2020). The two-year Story charity campaign ties in closely with our wider business goal of increasing the awareness and understanding of mental health conditions within the construction industry and removing the associated stigma.
Case Studies
The Lighthouse Project
We worked with Story Contracting and our subcontractors to renovate Carlisle Eden Mind’s Lighthouse with an overall investment in the project of almost £30,000.
Mental Health First Aiders
37 of our site and office-based colleagues are fully qualified Mental Health First Aiders. They have pledged to always be available to chat to colleagues about mental health.
Charity Fundraising
From quiz nights and charity football matches, to bake sales and ‘dress down’ days, we carry out regular fundraising activities to generate donations for our charity of the year.
