Walking for Mental Health: Supporting the Lighthouse Club

At the start of this month, the team at DM Habens came together for something a little different, stepping away from the day-to-day to focus on something that truly matters: mental health.

A group of 11 of us took on a 10-mile walk (with a few opting to run) to raise awareness for the incredible work carried out by the Lighthouse Club. 

Our aim was simple: to walk together, create space for open and honest discussions, and show visible support for mental health within our industry. The construction sector has made great strides in recent years, but we know there’s still more to be done to break down stigma and encourage people to speak up.

This event followed a strong push within our team to engage in mental health training courses, helping us better understand how to support ourselves and each other. The walk felt like a natural extension of that commitment, turning learning into action.

And it wasn’t just awareness we raised. Through our JustGiving page, we’re proud to have raised £200 for the Lighthouse Club, contributing to the vital support services they provide to those in need.

Most importantly, the day brought people together.  We’re incredibly proud of everyone who took part and grateful for the support we received. 

Here’s to continuing the conversation, and continuing to support mental health in our industry.
