Making Welfare & Wellbeing Support Visible, in sight, on site.

 Our #MakeItVisible team are reaching out to the frontline trades to let them know about the crucial support services we provide for free across the UK and Ireland. We’re visiting construction companies, builder’s merchants, hire centres and sites across the country to help spread the word and break the stigma of #mentalhealthinconstruction.
What to expect on the day
​

Our team will deliver an informal and engaging ‘Toolbox Talk’ to everyone on site, share their first hand life experiences and focus on the importance mental health and wellbeing. 

Outside of these sessions, there will be a 'safe space' around our #MakeItVisible tour van as a chance for the workers to engage with our team on a one to one basis and ask any questions they may have.

​We'll hand out our #MakeItVisible goody bags containing information on our services and some great freebies! There’s also an opportunity to enter a draw to win a prize valued at £400!

​Who's the team?

Our team are all ‘on the tools’ and their down to earth approach is always well received, They are also able to share their first hand life experiences in a casual and relatable manner. The emphasis is very much on having an informal friendly chat over a ‘cuppa’ and to let workers know about all of the support we have available to them and their families.
