The Resapol Foundation are incredibly pleased to contribute £1,000 to the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. The Lighthouse Charity is the only charity that provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families. A crucial element of their strategy is to provide a wide range of free and widely available pro-active resources to support the industry. This support is drastically needed! With statistics like: 2 construction workers take their life every single day in the UK and 82,000 new cases of work-related illnesses in the construction industry every year.
“The statistics around the construction industry are concerning and we are incredibly pleased to be able to support the Lighthouse Charity with their continued work. Our contribution aims to help sustain their work and ensure their continued impact within the industry.“
– Sean Ofsarnie, Foundation Co-Founder and Resapol Director
