We Build Recruitment are organising a 72-hole golf fundraiser to raise money for the charity Mates in Mind.

Mates in Mind is a leading Charity established 7 years ago, enabling UK organisations of any size to improve and take proactive steps to raise mental health awareness and understanding across their teams.

They bring industry insight, expertise, and a preventative approach to reducing the stigma and starting conversations about mental health across hundreds of workplaces.

Importantly, our proactive approach enables individuals to understand how, when and where they can get support before they reach crisis point.

To date, they have supported over 750 businesses and reached almost 700,000 employees directly, but there is still work to be done.

If the alarming statistic that you are almost 4 times more likely to take your own life if you are a male working in the construction industry isn’t enough, here are a few more stats for you to share as promised:

- A third of Construction Workers live with extreme levels of anxiety.

- 2 in 3 UK tradespeople have misused drugs and/or alcohol to mitigate symptoms of mental ill health

- 3 out of 5 employees experience mental health issues because of work.

£1000 enables Mates in Mind to provide mental health training for 100 workers.
