Its that time of year when myself and BAM Ritchies team are once again coming together to crush some miles and raise funds for Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity. On the 25th of April and 3rd of May our team members will walk, run and/or cycle depending on everyone's personal strengths and preferences. This will be a 10-hour event, held at two different locations (Dartmoor on the 25th and Kilsyth on the 3rd) and we will aim to cover as many miles in that time as we physically can. I shall be once again joining the cycling team at our Dartmoor event on the 25th April. This year I’m leaving my target miles open. The plan will be to cover as many mile as I can physically do but this time take in and enjoy the day with my friend and colleagues. With past events we all know we can dig deep when times got tough, support one another and with sheer determination get across the line. However by far my best moments and all time favourites are when we are laughing and joking and taking in the event. We are doing this to support the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity , which is the only charity that provides emotional, physical and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families. Annually construction industry sees over 2,000 major accidents that incapacitate the worker in such a way they cannot return to work. Over 400 construction workers commit suicide every year. Stress, depression and anxiety accounts for a fifth of all work related illness. Please support us in this mission, or maybe even join us for one of the events!

We had a bit of fun last week lending a hand to St Mary Magdalene Church in Sale, using the PMCSquared drone to lift Christmas lights over 8m high and drape them across the roof frame. This post is to all those unsung hero's who give their time and money to churches, charities, neighbours, friends and families. Its also a post to remind everyone of the dangers of being on ladders and scaffolding hanging lights and decorations. The fact that it is a good deed does not prevent accidents from happening. Please apply the same rules of safety when helping people as we do on our construction sites. Plan the work (do you need to go up that ladder? is there another way) Do the work Check the work Act on the work Matt Brunton #projectmanagement #besafe #plandocheckact #pmcsquared

Be seen ✅ Be heard ✅ Be validated ✅ Today, we had the incredible opportunity to welcome the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity and their Make it Visible campaign to our site. Their mission to ensure no construction worker or their family faces a crisis alone is one we wholeheartedly support. 💚 In construction, we often wear the same hard hats and vests, but we each carry unique burdens that aren't always visible. We want to break the stigma—defined as a "mark of disgrace"—associated with opening up about our struggles and asking for help when we need it. A massive thank you to Andy Bishop and Lee Anderson for sharing their powerful stories. Their words left a lasting impact, sparking conversations that we hope will continue for days, weeks, and even months to come. It's alarming to know that suicide is the biggest killer in construction. By spreading the word about available support, we can make a difference. The Construction Lighthouse Charity provides crucial financial, physical, and emotional wellbeing services. If you or someone you know needs help, don't hesitate to reach out. Together, we can create a supportive community where everyone feels safe to share and seek help. 💪 Construction industry helpline 0345 605 1956 (UK) 1800 939 122 (ROI) Text HARDHAT to 85258 (UK) 50808 (ROI) #MakeItVisible #ConstructionLighthouseCharity #MentalHealthAwareness #SupportEachOther #EndTheStigma

It may be Autumn, but that doesn’t mean it’s time to fall! RTSNV is proud to have a Fall Prevention Program, where we assist homeowners that have experienced a documented fall within their home in the past year. Our goal is to identify the hazards within the home that exacerbated the fall and remediate them. Examples of these home modifications can include: - Replacing a bathtub with a roll-in shower - Installing comfort height toilets - Installing grab bars - And more! #Nonprofit #RebuildingTogether #RTSNV #RebuildingTogetherSNV #CriticalRepairs #Renovations #Homeowners #CommunityAssistance #SouthernNevada #CommunityPartner #Nevada #NV
