Construction and workplace signage supplier Stocksigns has embarked on a collaboration with the Lighthouse Charity to make essential wellbeing support more visible on site through a dedicated signage range.
Stocksigns has worked closely with the Lighthouse Charity to develop a selection of clear and bold signage with powerful direct messaging designed to resonate with those on site and support the work of the charity. For 70 years, the Lighthouse Charity has been providing emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction professionals and their families across the UK and Republic of Ireland. This includes free, confidential support 24 hours a day, seven days a week over the phone or through a live web chat staffed by its expert advisors.
The Stocksigns range of impactful signage, designed to stand out in busy construction site environments, covers the areas of mental wellbeing, physical health, and financial stress, and reminds individuals that support is always available and that reaching out is a positive and encouraged step. Each sign prominently features the Lighthouse Charity’s 24/7 helpline numbers for both the UK and ROI, ensuring that anyone who needs help can access it quickly and easily.
Commenting on the collaboration, Daniella de Nobrega, Group Marketing and Design Manager at Stocksigns said: “We are pleased to be working closely with the Lighthouse Charity on such an important issue. This collaboration is all about bringing wellbeing to the forefront and making the issues that construction colleagues face more visible.
“The aim is to challenge the ‘just get on with it’ mindset, remove the stigma around asking for help with mental, physical and financial struggles, and reminding people that support is always available. Ultimately, this collaboration is about building a culture where wellbeing is openly discussed and actively supported across the industry.”
Sarah Bolton, CEO of the Lighthouse Charity added, “We are delighted to be part of this proactive initiative with Stocksigns to ensure that our workforce know how and where to access the support they need. We are continually sharing the message that reaching out for help is a strength, not a weakness and having clear support channels on display helps normalise conversations around the importance of site wellbeing.”
