Built environment cancer charity, We Build the Future, has successfully developed and run a pilot project to provide construction workers at London’s King’s Cross with a free-to-attend drop-in clinic where they can meet with a medical practitioner to discuss any medical issues, including issues relating to cancer.
King’s Cross is one of the largest regeneration projects in London, spanning 67 acres of office, retail and leisure space with over 1,700 homes on completion and 27 acres of public space – a mix of parks, streets, squares, and gardens. Construction work started on-site in 2007 and is set to complete in 2024, and the scheme continues to involve many site operatives, contractors, and consultants.
