09 April 2026
In recognition of stress awareness month in the UK, the National Federation of Demolition Contractors (NFDC) has refreshed its Mental Health Hub to offer members easier access to help and guidance.

The hub, which was first launched in 2021, now has its own dedicated webpage where the NFDC hosts a collection of demolition and wider built environment resources, specifically for mental health support.
This includes guidance, posters and presentations, such as “Understanding mental health in the built environment 2025” from the Chartered Institute of Building (CIOB), support from MFHA England, various material from The Lighthouse Charity, which also offers a 24/7 helpline for those in need, and much more.
The association also supports the HSE’s “Working Minds” campaign and #AndysManClub, a men’s suicide prevention charity. Much of the material is free to access for non-members.
According to the NFDC, “Mental health continues to be a risk within the demolition sector and wider built environment; coined the ‘silent mental health crisis’, stigma surrounding the topic has meant workers within the industry are still reluctant to hold open conversations about the challenges they face.”
