Posted: Monday, June 3rd, 2024
The plasterer behind Rebuilding Lives UK, a charity that supports domestic abuse survivors has appeared in Lewis Capaldi’s latest video. Naima Ben-Moussa fronts the video for A Cure for Minds Unwell, a track from his second album. Naima and her charity, which provides home repairs, as well as personal and home security products to women at risk of violence, caught Lewis’ attention because of her willingness to share her story. Naima hopes the additional publicity will help in Rebuilding Lives fundraising efforts. --- BIKBB (the British Institute of Kitchen, Bedroom and Bathroom Installers) has partnered with furniture fittings maker Blum UK to launch a training initiative to grow the number of compliant and reliable installers. The Funding The Future of Installation, which will officially launch at Installer later this month, will provide sponsorships for 50 kitchen, bedroom and bathroom installation businesses to join BIKBBI. The trade body’s CEO, Damian Walters claimed the programme would strengthen the community of compliant KBB installers. --- And finally, an apprentice bricky is encouraging other women to get involved in the trade. Ellie Warboys, a 16-year-old currently working on her Level 1 NVQ in Bricklaying at Moulton College, told the BBC that initially being one of the only women in her class was hard, but in a few weeks realised “there was no gender divide”. Warboys hoped other women would join the trade and encouraged others to take the plunge and “just go for it”. --- To listen to the construction news please click below
