The Hidden Struggles of Construction Workers in the UK

As you said, you know in the UK last year there were two suicides a day within the construction industry. So the mental health, you know weight that people are facing in the industry is extremely high. Yeah it helps help to especially for people who maybe have come over here who don't have that many friends or family living in the country, you know who have pre settled status from Brexit. They maybe commute a long way and they're doing very physical heavy work on site. I think it can be very tough. And the other piece is that a lot of people are living from paycheck to paycheck and if the work dries up and they can't find something that could be the difference between them being able to pay their rent or not. And it's crazy that in a worker shortage that we have so many people that are in that predicament where they can't find work and every day the news is saying we have a shortage, we need more people.
