The Lighthouse construction industry charity continues to give hope for those in need and in 2023, it saw 4438 people reaching out for support through its 24/7 construction industry helpline, a 30% increase on the previous year.
Its charitable spend also increased by 12% to £3,727,386. This support has been delivered against the backdrop of a challenging year for the industry, with continued increases in the cost of materials, the cost-of-living crisis and ongoing labour shortages.
Charity caseworkers played a key role in this achievement and through collaboration with other charitable organisations and ensuring that people accessed their statutory entitlements, they leveraged a staggering £1,524,508 of financial support.
