A Colchester-based contractor has rolled out its newest tipper truck complete with charity branding as it looks to raise awareness of mental health among construction workers.
SRC Group’s latest addition to its Barking fleet has been adorned with messaging from the Lighthouse Charity, an Ipswich-based organisation supporting construction workers and their families across the UK.
It is hoped its visibility across Essex and Greater London will help signpost more people to the charity’s confidential support services.
Oliver Rees, Managing Director at SRC Group, said: “The Lighthouse Charity does incredibly important work supporting people across our industry and their families.
“Construction can be a tough environment and it’s vital that people know there is somewhere to turn if they need support.
“Having the charity’s message travelling around on one of our vehicles felt like a simple but effective way of helping raise awareness across the areas we operate in.”
Support services offered by the Lighthouse Charity include a 24/7 helpline, a live web chat and a free self-support mobile app.
Sarah Bolton, CEO of the Lighthouse Charity, added: “We are absolutely delighted with this amazing gesture from SRC Group.
“What better way to extend the message of support to our construction community, than by sharing our charity information proudly on a specially branded tipper.
“It’s incredibly eye-catching and I have no doubt that this will be the talk of every site that it visits.
“Thank you to everyone at SRC for making this possible.”
SRC Group is a family-run firm providing a range of solutions from waste disposal, contracting services and material supply.
