Charity Guide · All Proceeds to Mates in Mind
Mental Health, Resilience and Wellbeing for UK Construction Professionals
Written by someone who has been on both sides of these conversations. Two serious anxiety episodes during twenty years in UK construction. A qualified Mental Health First Aider who ran toolbox talks, supported colleagues through their own struggles, and was on site the day a subcontractor learned he had lost one of his team to suicide. 43 pages. Every penny to Mates in Mind. Nothing in here comes from a classroom.
Stress, depression and anxiety account for 52% of all work-related ill-health (HSE 2024/25).
Suggested donation £19. Minimum £2. Gift Aid adds 25% at no cost to you if you are a UK taxpayer.
