We are England | Coping in Construction
A BBC Film Crew followed us on our Midnight Marathon Trek to raise awareness of the issue of poor mental health in construction.
We set off from Twickenham Stadium on route across London to open the UK Construction Week Exhibition at the Excel Centre.
While we walked the 26.2 miles, the BBC crew hopped in and out of taxi’s drinking latte’s & herbal tea, before jumping out on us somewhere along the way.
This event was broadcast as part of the BBC’s This is England series, which you can watch on BBC iplayer or below.
