Frank Rogers joins Mindflow’s “First 11” on World Mental Health Day

That’s why, on World Mental Health Day, we are proud to announce that we have joined the Mindflow United “First 11”, alongside Mindflow’s Founding Members, Causeway Technologies and Christopher Ward.

The “First 11” is a small, exclusive team of companies and individuals who will stand with Mindflow from the very beginning, shaping their journey and supporting their mission to tackle mental health challenges in construction. With suicide rates among the highest of any UK industry, the need for proactive, collaborative action has never been greater.

Our long-term commitment to mental health

This isn’t new territory for us. Through the Frank Rogers Foundation, we have a strong track record of supporting mental health and wellbeing initiatives. We are:

1. Long-term supporters of Sean’s Place, a local charity providing vital mental health support for men in our community.
2. Signatories of the Building Mental Health Charter, a commitment to raising awareness, reducing stigma, and ensuring mental health is on the agenda across the industry.
3. Supporters of the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity, the only charity that provides dedicated emotional, physical, and financial wellbeing support for construction workers and their families.

Joining Mindflow’s “First 11” is a natural progression in our mission to ensure every worker feels seen, supported, and safe.

Supporting our people

As well as working with external partners, we are equally focused on the wellbeing of our own teams. Today, as part of World Mental Health Day, we sent an all-employee reminder of the services we already provide:

1. Medicash Healthcare, which includes free access to counselling services.
2. Trained Mental Health First Aiders across the business, available to support colleagues at any time.
3. Awareness posters across our offices and sites, making support visible and accessible as standard.
4. Regular toolbox talks to encourage open and honest conversations.

A message from our Managing Director

Dean Rogers, Managing Director at Frank Rogers Building Contractors, said:

“At Frank Rogers, the mental health and wellbeing of our workforce is a priority every single day. Through our Foundation, we’ve consistently invested in initiatives that support both our employees and the wider community. Becoming the third member of Mindflow’s ‘First 11’ team is a natural extension of that commitment.

Today, on World Mental Health Day, we’ve also reminded our employees of the support available to them - from free counselling through Medicash, to our trained Mental Health First Aiders, and clear signposting via posters across all our offices and sites. These aren’t token gestures; they are part of our culture. By working with Mindflow, we are ensuring that support extends beyond our own workforce and into the wider construction industry.”

Trevor Steven, former Everton player and Mindflow CEO said: “We are thrilled to have Frank Rogers as part of our First 11. Taking the number one shirt, we know the industry will be in ‘safe hands’.I am so grateful to Dean and the team for supporting our Charity through the Frank Rogers Foundation and we look forward to getting some winning results for the construction industry.”

By joining the Mindflow “First 11,” we’re proud to be part of a movement that puts mental health firmly on the agenda in construction. For us, this is about more than a one-off gesture - it’s about building a healthier, safer future for everyone in our industry.
