HFS become supporter of Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity

Home Fix Scotland (HFS) is delighted to announce that they have become a Company Supporter of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. 

 

The Lighthouse Construction Industry mission is to: 

  • Reduce construction industry suicides  

  • Improve workforce welfare and wellbeing for this generation and the next and  

  • Keep our key support services free for everyone in our industry to access 

The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is the only charity that provides emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support to the construction community and their families.  

A crucial element of this is to provide a wide range of free and widely available pro-active resources to support the industry. And being a Company Supporter opens a wealth of services to HFS staff. 

Core services for HFS staff include: 

  • 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline 

  • Self-Support App

  • Education & Training  

  • Wellbeing Academy  

 

Text HARDHAT Support Service 

One of the services included is the Text ‘HARDHAT’ service. This service meets the needs of those who feel uncomfortable speaking with someone on the telephone or find it difficult to find a place and time to talk. The service provides immediate one-to-one support on a vast range of wellbeing issues and can signpost to further specialist support if required. 

Derek Ferguson, Managing Director, Home Fix Scotland said: “This is a fantastic charity that helps staff in the construction industries like HFS. “We will be running workshops with staff shortly on this service and are hoping to have the app installed on all company equipment soon.  

“The App will be added to HFS work issued smart devices, and is also available for staff to download to personal devices via the App store or Google Play.”
