Matchtech fundraising for Foothold

We want engineers across the world to feel supported in all aspects of their lives and to feel it’s OK to ask for that support. We want them to be healthy and able to stand on their own two feet. That is why we're fundraising to support Foothold.

Story

•Almost one in five engineers have lost a colleague to suicide.

•Only 25% of engineers say they feel comfortable discussing their challenges battling depression, or financial stress with colleagues or their manager.

•More than a fifth of engineers have had to take time off work because of their mental health.

It’s never been more important for people in the engineering community to have somewhere to turn to for support when crisis strikes.

Foothold exists to ensure no engineer has to face life's challenges alone, they offer a broad range of financial, emotional, and wellbeing services. And, all support is offered free of charge thanks to generous donations.

With your support, we can work tirelessly to connect more people with the help and support they need.
