Today is World Mental Health Day. 🌎 World Mental Health Day is celebrated every year on 10 October, with this year's focus on workplace mental health. This theme highlights the importance of addressing mental health and wellbeing in the workplace, for the benefit of people, organisations, and communities. Work can be good for our mental health, giving us a sense of purpose, boosting self-worth and providing opportunities to connect with others. But it can also be a source of stress and anxiety to some. 👷♀️ All Bellway sites will hold a toolbox talk on 10th October to encourage open conversation about mental health. The site teams will learn: ➡️ How to support your own mental health ➡️ How to spot the signs that someone might be struggling ➡️ How to open up a conversation about mental health ➡️ Where to signpost to for professional support How do you prioritise your mental health in the workplace? 📣 For support, visit The Lighthouse Charity who provide free emotional, physical and financial wellbeing to our construction community - you can contact someone 24 hours a day 7 days a week. Call 0345 605 1956 or text HARDHAT to 85258. #WorldMentalHealthDay

Bellway South London is celebrating after winning a prestigious award for a house which sets the standard for what a modern sustainable home of the future could look like. 🏆 The four-bedroom Reedmaker at Fallow Wood View, in the West Sussex town of Burgess Hill, has won the ‘Best House’ category in the Evening Standard New Homes Awards 2024. The four-bedroom detached home, which is part of Bellway's flagship Artisan Collection, has been adapted to incorporate low-carbon features including an air source heat pump, PV panels and a sustainable FSC-certified timber frame instead of traditional blockwork. The team from Bellway South London accepted the award at a ceremony held at the Dorchester Hotel in London on Friday 27th September. 🗣 Daniel Williamson, Sales Director at Bellway South London, said: “We are absolutely thrilled to have won this award at this prestigious event in the UK’s property calendar. Our team put a great deal of thought and effort into the design of the Reedmaker at Fallow Wood View and it is very satisfying to see their work recognised by this coveted accolade. “The Reedmaker is not a bespoke eco-home but an attainable low-carbon property for ordinary families which can be rolled out at scale, helping to provide a possible template for how the industry as a whole can meet the challenge of moving towards net zero. “As part of our Better with Bellway sustainability strategy we have used timber, a renewable material, in place of carbon-intensive block construction methods, and included technologies such as an air source heat pump, solar PV panels and wastewater heat recovery to help further reduce carbon emissions.” In choosing the winners, the judges were looking for homes and developments that reflect, or exceed, current best practice in the housebuilding industry in a number of areas including quality of design, value for money, energy-efficiency and innovation. ✅ Find out more about Fallow Wood View here: https://lnkd.in/ew6hmx2s

Openreach Forum Panel 💡   Currently less than 15% of people employed in construction are women, and last Thursday, our Group Sales Manager, Alexandra Philipson, joined a panel of brilliant female leaders from across the industry including, Kelly Canterford MRICS, Aisha M. and Tracey Hill at Openreach's Annual Developer Forum. The panellists discussed the key importance of allyship and culture within our industry, and what collectively we're doing, to not only bring in more diverse groups to the industry, but also to ensure we're doing enough to foster and retain existing talent. Thank you to Andy Neilson, lesley kellett and Craig Bucknall from Openreach for a great event.
