Mindflow become CE Midlands chosen charity for 2025
We were so taken by Trevor’s presentation at our 2024 Annual Construction Summit that we have decided to adopt Mindflow as our chosen charity for 2025. The link between football and construction is very close and we feel the charity will be able to reach thousands of people with this very important message. We hope CE Midlands members will be generous throughout next year.
Mindflow, a charity dedicated to supporting the mental health crisis in the construction industry is delighted to be named as Constructing Excellence Midland’s charity partner for 2025.
Recently launched as the charity arm of Causeway Technologies, Mindflow – spearheaded by former England International, Trevor Steven is championing mental health in construction by joining the dots between mental health, construction and football.
Research shows that male construction site workers are three times more likely to die from suicide than the average male in the UK. In fact, suicide kills 20 times more construction workers than accidents in the workplace. With these alarming statistics, Trevor Steven decided to personally visit construction sites across the UK to speak directly to the workforce to understand first-hand what the main factors were that are contributing to this crisis.
Construction, being known for its predominantly male and macho image, Trevor was able to cut through and engage with this audience, with his time in football being a similar environment to work within. This valuable insight led to the findings being published and Mindflow being created to support the industry in instigating positive change.
Trevor Steven, Mindflow CEO comments: “CE Midlands are a great fit for Mindflow, sharing our commitment to the construction industry and I’ve really enjoyed being attending some great events this year and meeting people across their network. We are so pleased to be named charity partner for 2025 – the inaugural year for Mindflow as we align with CE Midlands’ vision and it gives us a great platform to support the industry in partnership with you. I am looking forward to working more closely with the team and forging a strong collaboration through events and engaging initiatives to champion positive mental health within the industry and work together to make mental health as fundamental as physical health in construction.”
