NHP Partnership with wienerberger

Posted 20th May 2025

wienerberger are pleased to partner with the National House Project (NHP) to support young care leavers into careers into the construction industry.

wienerberger, as part of their Social Impact Strategy, are supporting NHP with bursary monies to provide support for young people to access a wide range of construction careers including plumbing and bricklaying. The funds can be utilised to support with tools, clothing or cost of living expenses.

“This partnership aligns with our social impact purpose of tackling homelessness whilst also nurturing the skills to help our industry thrive.”
“Alongside the bursary our teams have undertaken volunteering opportunities with Local House Projects and we have plans to run insight into industry sessions later this year. We’re excited to see how this partnership will develop and positively impact young care leavers”.

Mark Warr CEO from NHP comments; “The House Project approach is holistic and whilst the offer of having their own accommodation is what draws young people in, they have repeatedly told us that being in work and being able to manage their finances is what makes the difference to the quality of their lives. Supporting young people to be work ready, providing them with opportunities that genuinely interest them, and supporting them financially and emotionally makes a real difference. Doing this in partnership with Wienerberger not only improves the quality of our offer but means that we can deliver on our commitments to more young people.”

Launched in early 2025 the bursary has supported four young people so far ranging from funding an electrical training course, obtaining a CSCS card, purchasing painting and decorating tools to set up a business and support for clothing and equipment to work as a labourer.
