Backing Those Who Build Our Communities
At CPAS, we know that construction isn’t just about bricks and mortar—it’s about people. The men and women who work on sites across Ireland keep our country moving, and their wellbeing matters. That’s why we’re delighted to support the Lighthouse Charity, an organisation dedicated to looking after construction workers and their families.
Recently, CPAS made a donation to the Lighthouse Club, helping to fund vital services like mental health support, financial aid, and their 24/7 Construction Industry Helpline. But we didn’t stop there. Our team also got stuck into a bit of fundraising themselves, bringing everyone together for a great cause.
A Christmas Fundraiser with Heart
Just before Christmas, the CPAS team decided to have a bit of fun while raising money. What started as a simple idea turned into a real community effort, with plenty of laughs along the way.
One of the highlights was a staff raffle at the morning coffee, with prizes ranging from homemade cakes to small but thoughtful gifts. You’d be surprised how competitive people got over a tin of biscuits! By the end of it, we’d raised over €600—a brilliant result, and all thanks to the generosity of our team.
Then there was the walking football match, which brought out a mix of skill, enthusiasm, and, let’s be honest, a few questionable tackles. Yes, tackles! That’s what they’re called in walking football! It wasn’t exactly Premier League standard, but it was great craic and a reminder of how important it is to look after not just our finances, but also our physical and mental wellbeing.
Supporting Those Who Support Us
The Lighthouse Charity does incredible work behind the scenes, offering support to those in the industry who need it most. Whether it’s a tradesperson struggling with their mental health, a family facing unexpected hardship, or someone in need of legal or financial advice, the charity is there to help with no strings attached.
At CPAS, we’re proud to play a small part in that mission. Construction is more than just a job; it’s a community. By backing the Lighthouse Charity, we hope to encourage others in the industry to do the same. Because when we look after each other, we all build a secure future—both on and off-site.
If you or someone you know in the industry needs support, Lighthouse’s Construction Industry Helpline is there 24/7. No one should have to face difficulties alone.
