1st Step becomes a Lighthouse Club Company Supporter

1st Step Solutions are extremely proud to have recently become a company supporter of the Lighthouse Club, a charity run by the construction industry, for the construction industry. The Lighthouse Club offers support to those struggling with mental and physical health issues along with those struggling with financial challenges. A devastating statistic we learnt is the construction industry loses two people a day to suicide and we wanted to show our support for the fantastic work the Lighthouse Club are doing to try and offer as much backing to them as possible.
