The Lighthouse Club has been chosen as the official charity partner of UK Construction Week.

And the charity’s latest joint effort with safety specialist JSP will be on show in Birmingham

The Lighthouse Club and JSP are collaborating on a ‘Lighthouse PPE range’ where a proportion of the proceeds will go to the charity to help support its latest initiative  – the Construction Industry Helpline.

This 24/7 helpline provides support and advice for everyone in the sector and to date has received more than 500 calls and distributed more than £250,000 in financial aid to assist over 200 construction families in the UK and Ireland who are suffering hardship.

Bill Hill, CEO of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity said: “ We were delighted to be chosen as UK Construction Weeks Charity Partner and look forward to working with JSP to promote our cause.

“It is quite incredible how the construction industry pulls together in times of need to support their own people.”

UK Construction Week takes place at the NEC in Birmingham from 6th to 11th October.
