Mulalley is the first UK construction company to show their commitment to improving the welfare of their workforce by purchasing £5000 worth of Construction Industry Helpline wristbands.
The wristbands, to be worn by the workforce, have been developed by the Considerate Constructors Scheme as a way of raising awareness of this valuable resource and to raise money for the funding of the helpline.
The Construction Industry Helpline provides free 24/7 support to the construction industry’s workforce and their families on a range of topics including finance, depression, occupational health and wellbeing, illness and bereavement.
The new helpline is funded via the Lighthouse Club through donations from individuals, businesses and construction industry organisations, and through the purchasing of wristbands and posters from the Scheme.
As well as distributing the wristbands, the Scheme has also committed to issuing the helpline posters to all of its registered sites to raise greater awareness of this invaluable support resource.
All profits from the sale of wristbands and posters will be donated to the helpline to fund its ongoing support to the workforce.
Bruce Benson, Operations Director of Mulalley said: “Mulalley is delighted to be the first company to support this unique helpline. We do hope that the rest of the industry recognises, as we did, the need to support our workforce in times of need as we feel sure the industry will benefit greatly from this very special initiative.”
Edward Hardy, Chief Executive of the Considerate Constructors Scheme said: “We are hugely grateful to Mulalley for being the first to commit to the helpline and to encourage its use among their workforce. The helpline receives no public funding so we’re extremely thankful to Mulalley for purchasing helpline wristbands and we would of course encourage all other companies to follow in their footsteps by providing wristbands for their workforce.”
Bill Hill, Chief Executive of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity said: “The Construction Industry Helpline was launched to support the whole construction community in their time of need. The service is free for all the workforce and their families but we need corporate engagement and support. We are delighted that the Considerate Constructors Scheme have taken this to heart and have brought Mulalley on board who have purchased the wristbands for their team.”

Working with the Considerate Constructors Scheme, the Lighthouse Club unveiled the helpline at the Scheme's annual Drinks Reception, held in the Imperial War Museum on Thursday 4th December.
Managed by the Lighthouse Club, the 24/7 confidential helpline is not publicly funded and relies entirely on the generosity and support of industry organisations, fundraising groups and individuals.
It has already received fantastic support from industry donators Mulalley, Canary Wharf Contractors, Elev8 Interiors, Parkeray and Rydon - whose generosity has helped get the helpline off to a flying start.
All profits from the sale of the wristbands and A2 posters will be donated to the Construction Industry Helpline to fund its ongoing support to the workforce. Please click here if you would like to purchase any helpline products.

The helpline will share usage data only with the Scheme so that it can understand where areas of construction need to be improved so that new initiatives can be developed in order to address issues raised. The helpline is strictly confidential and no personal or private details will be shared.
Speaking on the launch of the helpline, Chief Executive of the Lighthouse Club, Bill Hill said: "I am absolutely delighted to be able to launch the Construction Industry Helpline in partnership with the Considerate Constructors Scheme.
"I am extremely grateful to the Scheme for its help in raising awareness of this much-needed facility for workers in the construction industry and their families. This unique helpline will give helpful advice to those facing difficult times as a result of unforeseen circumstances such as illness, accident or bereavement.
"I am heartened by the amount of support already pledged by construction companies and would like to thank the Scheme for their help in producing these fabulous and useful wristbands and posters which will hopefully reach the whole workforce.
"I like to think of the construction industry as one big family with a duty of care and responsibility to its workers – as considerate constructors. I hope the industry and its workforce will benefit greatly from this worthwhile initiative."
Scheme Chief Executive Edward Hardy added: "The Considerate Constructors Scheme is extremely proud to help launch this fantastic and invaluable service, dedicated to the industry's entire workforce and their families.
"Our workforce are renowned for their resilience, hard-work and courage, completing projects in all weathers, conditions and often extreme circumstances.
"However, there are also risks associated with working in construction, and unforeseen events can sometimes impact on workers' health, livelihoods and family life.
"This is where the helpline can help – by offering advice and support for workers and their families and helping them back onto their feet.
"Our heartfelt thanks go to the Lighthouse Club for inviting the Scheme to help with this vital initiative and to our industry partners who have already pledged their support to such a worthwhile cause."
