Hello from Sarah Poirier
Regional Ambassador
Sarah Poirier serves as one of our dedicated Regional Ambassadors, overseeing the Midlands, Nottingham and Derby, East Anglia, and Lincolnshire regions. Working hand in hand with our volunteer committee members, Sarah ensures that our message of support resonates within each respective region and provides updates on the charitable services we offer. Sarah has also nurtured strong connections with our existing Company Supporters through her active involvement in their events and enhancing the partnership experience to ensure that our supporters are accessing all the services available to them. Her active participation in construction related events and forums has further amplified the charity’s visibility and fostered positive relationships that showcase collaborative working and extend our message of support to our construction community.

STRESS AWARENESS MONTH Whole Month
Everyone has experienced some sort of stress in their life, which is perfectly normal and part of the human experience. In small amounts, it can even help us achieve things in our lives, as well as meeting the demands of home, work and family life. But too much stress isn’t good, so check out the advice and resources on our page or even book your place on one of our stress-related courses.
