Aston Group supports mental health awareness week

This week marks Mental Health Awareness Week, a national initiative started over 20 years ago by the Mental Health Foundation to shine a spotlight on mental health and the importance of wellbeing in our daily lives.

At Aston Group, we believe that mental wellbeing is just as vital as physical health, and we’re proud to be supporting this important cause.

A month of connection, care and community

While this week serves as the national focus, we’re making it a full month of meaningful activities to connect and support our people. Each week throughout May, we’re taking part in different initiatives designed to encourage conversation, raise awareness, and foster community spirit within our team.

‘Wear it Green Day’ – standing in solidarity

To show our support and spark conversations around mental health, our team is proudly participating in ‘Wear It Green Day’. This nationwide campaign invites everyone to wear green as a symbol of solidarity with those living with mental health challenges. It's a small gesture with a big message: you are not alone.

Supporting the construction community

We are also proud to have the support of The Lighthouse Charity, a brilliant organisation that provides emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support to construction workers and their families. Their work is close to our hearts, and we’re grateful for their continued support of our industry.

Sweet support for a local cause

As part of our wellbeing and community focus, we’re hosting a charity cake sale in support of Haven House Children’s Hospice—a local charity that provides vital care for seriously ill children and their families. Every slice sold helps make a difference.

Walk and talk – step outside, speak up

Lastly, we’re encouraging everyone to take part in our ‘Walk and Talk’ initiative—an opportunity for colleagues to step away from their desks, enjoy some fresh air, and connect with each other. Whether it's a lunchtime stroll or a quick walk for a coffee (on us!), we’re creating space to talk, unwind, and support one another.We’d love to see everyone get involved in at least one activity this month. Because sometimes, the best conversations start with a simple walk.
