At Rhino Trade Insurance, we pride ourselves on being able to support tradesmen and women throughout the UK - which is why we’re incredibly proud to announce our partnership with Band of Builders, a UK charity doing truly life-changing work for people in the construction industry.
Who are Band of Builders?
Band of Builders are a UK-registered charity providing practical help, wellbeing support and financial assistance to construction workers affected by illness, injury or life-changing circumstances. They’re best known for delivering rapid, high-impact home adaptation and renovation projects across the UK – work that can make an immediate and lasting difference to someone who's fallen on hard times.
Alongside these projects, Band of Builders also offers national wellbeing support, including a 24-hour text support line, ensuring help is available whenever it’s needed.
Their work brings the trade community together to look after its own - something we hugely admire and fully stand behind.
Recently, Gavin Crane - CEO, visited Rhino HQ to tell us about the work Band of Builders carry out. Check it out here.
