In May, our proud partners at the Lighthouse Club paid a visit to our workers at the HMP Millsike site, tackling the difficult subject of mental health and engaging with the crew about a range of experiences they could be facing. Kier very kindly organised the visit, as well as providing some sweet treats to all the workers in attendance!

The Lighthouse Club prides itself on providing emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their loved ones. This is a massively important area for us at Howard Civil Engineering in our never-ending pursuit of creating a comfortable, open, and healthy work environment!

The Lighthouse Club delivered a number of important ‘Tool Box Talks’ to our workers, where individuals discussed their own personal mental health experiences in an effort to encourage more openness and conversation on the subject matter. They also took some time to engage in more casual conversations with the team throughout the morning. During their stay, they handed out some goody bags, and Kier even kindly stepped in to give attendees some free ice-cream – not a bad way to start the morning!

Our partnership with the Lighthouse Club is an incredibly rewarding one for us, and we’ll continue to support their crucial work as we aid in the fight for a mentally healthier workplace across all our sites and projects! You can read more about the charity here.
