LTC Social Value Roundup

As we move into 2026, we’re reflecting on a year of meaningful social value delivery as part of the Lower Thames Crossing project, with a strong focus on inspiring future talent.

Throughout 2025, our team was proud to engage with local schools and students, helping to showcase the wide range of opportunities available within construction.

👨🏻‍🏫 Drapers’ Academy
Aidan Munnelly delivered an engaging careers session aimed at inspiring students to consider a future in construction. A highlight of the day was the use of VR technology, allowing students to virtually operate an excavator on a live construction site – bringing the industry to life and sparking real interest.

🏫 The Coopers’​ Company and Coborn School
We were delighted to support an insights session with Year 12 students, providing a real-world perspective on apprenticeships, career progression, and opportunities within business administration and the wider construction sector. The enthusiasm and curiosity from the students reinforced the importance of investing time in future talent.

👷🏻‍♀️ Frances Bardsley Academy
In December, we also supported a careers fair at Frances Bardsley Academy, a girls’ secondary school, helping to promote construction and infrastructure as an inclusive and exciting career option for young women.

These activities reflect our continued commitment to creating a positive, lasting legacy through the Lower Thames Crossing – by supporting education, promoting skills development, and opening doors for the next generation.

A special thank you to Charlotte Condon for coordinating these events – your support has been instrumental in making them a success.

We look forward to building on this momentum and continuing to deliver meaningful social value throughout 2026.
