Please support my Raid of The Pyrenees bike ride which is in aid of Mental Health UK. 

Men in the UK are three times more likely to die by suicide than women. However in construction – a male dominated industry– men are three times more likely to die by suicide than the national average for men. 

Construction work has a variety of pressures from tight contracts to long hours, time away from loved-ones and managing budgets, not to mention the added stresses of the pandemic and now the rising costs of supplies. Additionally, within construction lies a "macho" culture which prevents many workers from seeking support and help when they may need it, putting further stress on their own mental health and wellbeing. 

It is important for employers and individuals to know just how important mental health awareness is and the support provided by Mental Health UK.
