Developer Lovell has joined forces with The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity for World Mental Health Day to deliver a wellbeing talk to the construction team working on the Ringland regeneration project in Newport.

The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity is a mental health charity specifically supporting those who work in construction with their emotional, physical and financial wellbeing.

The talk at the Ringland regeneration scheme comes as part of the charity’s #MakeItVisible campaign, aimed at making wellbeing support visible and easily accessible across the UK.

Sam Warner and Rob Muldoon, from The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, delivered a ‘Toolbox Talk’ to the Lovell site team and its contractors, introducing them to the available support services.

Gemma Clissett, regional partnerships director at Lovell, said: “We are proud to have teamed up with The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity this World Mental Health Day, and feel reassured that our construction team in Ringland now know how to best improve their wellbeing and offer support to their peers.

“At Lovell, we take the mental health of our site teams extremely seriously and are always looking out for ways we can offer additional support.

"The Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity’s mission is very close to our hearts, and we look forward to working with them again in the future.”

The Ringland regeneration project is a large-scale transformation programme being delivered by Lovell for Newport City Homes, bringing a new lease of life to the Ringland area of Newport.

The £47-million project will see 158 new homes and the Ringland shopping centre being relocated.

Lovell is a leading provider of partnership housing and has been building communities for more than 50 years.
