Elliott Group and Lighthouse Charity Deliver Site-Based #MakeItVisible Message<\/strong><\/p>\n

Elliott Group has partnered with the Lighthouse Charity to raise awareness of the importance of positive wellbeing across their business and their RDS site recently hosted the charity\u2019s #MakeitVisible team.<\/p>\n

The #MakeItVisible On Site initiative, sees a team of experienced tradespeople visiting construction sites across Ireland and the UK. Tour ambassadors Fergus Farrell and Sam Wilson led the event, sharing their own lived experiences in a down to earth and relatable way, kickstarting conversations around mental health in construction. They also highlighted the importance of physical wellbeing, site safety and the many routes to support that the charity offers.<\/p>\n

To extend the message of support with their teams, Elliott\u2019s captured the visit on video which features \u00a0members of the Lighthouse Charity\u2019s #MakeItVisible team speaking directly within a live construction environment, sharing a clear and practical message around support, awareness and looking out for one another.<\/p>\n

The video is now being shared across Elliott Group channels, encouraging greater awareness of the support available, reducing the stigma around asking for help, and reminding those working across the industry that support is always within reach.<\/p>\n

Speaking about the collaboration, Matthew O\u2019Dowd, HSEQ Director at Elliott Group, said:<\/p>\n

\u201cConstruction is a demanding industry, and it\u2019s vital that we continue to normalise conversations around wellbeing and support. Partnering with the Lighthouse Charity allows us to bring an important message directly to our people and the wider industry \u2014 that help is there, that it\u2019s okay to speak up, and that looking out for one another is everyone\u2019s responsibility.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n

The Lighthouse Charity provides 24\/7\u00a0holistic support to our Ireland and UK construction community\u00a0on all aspects of emotional, physical\u00a0and financial wellbeing.\u00a0They\u00a0 offer a free and confidential 24\/7 helpline, live web chat service and text facility which provides a range of information, guidance and support on a huge variety of wellbeing issues. These services are complemented by their free self-support app,\u00a0 along with their Lighthouse Beacons who provide a safe space for people to share concerns.<\/p>\n

Sarah Bolton, CEO of the Lighthouse Charity added, \u201cWe\u2019re delighted to be partnering with Elliott Group to raise awareness of the support available to their teams and letting people know that they are not alone. A crucial part of our work is offering proactive measures to support our community and our #MakeItVisible initiative reaches some of our industry\u2019s most vulnerable workers. Elliott\u2019s commitment to creating a safe, supportive working environment will encourage open conversations where people feel able to share their concerns without the fear of judgement or stigma,\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
