THE building merchants company hit by a huge fire in Portslade two weeks ago has announced its charity sponsor for 2018.
Chandlers Building Supplies has chosen the Construction Industry Helpline, run by the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity.
It is a 24/7 confidential helpline for the industry’s workforce and their families, and was selected by Chandlers following its month-long appeal to find a charity partner.
Sue McKinney of Chandlers Buildings Supplies said: “We had many, many worthy charities applying for the partnership opportunity.
“However, following much consideration, we chose to support the Construction Industry Helpline.
“This is a wonderful and much needed service totally dedicated to the sector in which we operate, the construction industry. “
The charity has 21 volunteer-led regional clubs throughout the UK and Ireland.
