Coping During the Holiday Season

4 December 2025

In the UK, the average person spends £923 at Christmas, and one in four people say they’ll struggle to afford it this year.

For those working in construction, where income can fluctuate, that financial pressure can feel even heavier.

We’re proud to support Lighthouse Charity’s Coping During the Holiday Season campaign, which shares practical advice on managing money, setting boundaries, and protecting your wellbeing through December.

If you or someone you know is finding it tough, free and confidential support is always available through the Lighthouse Helpline and Live Chat.
