News Spotlight Cadent and QEM: Hydrogen’s Critical Moment

Energy, and the question of where we get it, has never claimed as many column inches as it does now. Climate change is an increasingly urgent concern, while war in Ukraine has, at the same time, made the whole of Europe rethink every aspect of its energy landscapes.

The Lighthouse Club and QEM: because two lives lost is two too many

Every single day in the UK, two construction workers will take their own life.

Let’s think about that number. In just a year, that’s more than 700 people left without someone to grow old with. Perhaps 1,000 children without a parent. More than 700 households facing life without an income. And around 700 teams in shock about the colleague who ‘seemed okay’.

And that’s before we even consider the utter despair that brought that person to consider suicide as the best option. Help is out there, and at QEM we’re doing our own small bit to make sure everyone knows.  

The Lighthouse Club     

We believe that every life matters. That’s why we’re supporting the Lighthouse Club, a charity that takes care of the emotional, physical and financial wellbeing of construction workers and their families.

How we can all be part of the solution

While pledging financial support for the Lighthouse Club is a great first step, at QEM we know we can always do more. Next time someone on your site seems more distracted than usual, take a moment to ask how they’re feeling. And don’t let ‘fine’ be the end of the conversation. By giving someone your full attention, and by listening without judgment, you might just save a life. Or even two.

Because two lives a day is two too many.
