Our Charity Work

The Lighthouse Club is UK and Ireland’s only charity providing mental health, wellbeing and financial support to those who  work in the construction industry and their families.

To support construction workers and their families, the Lighthouse Club has funded the Construction Industry Helpline, a 24/7 safety net that provides:

  • Emergency financial aid to construction families in crisis
  • Advice on occupational health and mental wellbeing
  • Support on legal, tax and debt management matters

Call the Construction Industry Helpline on 0345 605 1956 or visit their website to find out more.

CONSTRUCT also runs a Golf Day each year to raise money for the Lighthouse Club. Visit our Events Page for the latest information on our events with the Lighthouse Charity.

CONSTRUCT also raises money for the charity at our annual flagship event, CONSTRUCT Day.
