OURFC, 2024
Corporate Clash 2024
The flagship corporate fixture. A platform for the mind-fitness conversation with the firms that turn up to play.
A Storey product · with Cognacity
Mind fitness for the construction industry.
Ownminder is the digital platform behind Legal & General's construction supply-chain wellbeing programme. Built with Cognacity (Dr Phil Hopley). Operated by Storey Consulting. Deployed across the construction supply chain via QR access on every site.
Why it exists
The construction industry has the highest suicide rate of any sector in the UK.
Health-and-safety practice has driven physical injuries down for decades. The mental-health figures haven't followed. Two construction workers take their own lives every working day in the UK. The traditional response, posters, helplines, occasional toolbox talks, hasn't moved the needle. Ownminder is built to.

What it does
Three layers of attitudinal change at once.
"What we look to do is do it at three different levels: of the individual, within their company, and then also more culturally across the industry." Tom Storey, on the origin of Ownminder.
For the individual
A daily mind-fitness practice. Short, evidence-based exercises in mood regulation, sleep, focus and self-awareness. Available on iOS, Android and web. Anonymous to your employer.
For the project
13 evidence-based Toolbox Talks, line-manager training, and CCLA Q26 attendee declarations as audit-grade evidence. Aligned to ISO 45003 and the WHO mental-health framework.
For the supply chain
QR-code access on every site. Per-occupier branded landing pages. Live engagement metrics across contractors and Tier 2/3 suppliers, visible to the developer and the investor.
Inside the app
A daily mind-fitness practice, built for the pocket on site.
Ten "strengths" map a worker's mental skill set, ten low-poly animal characters drawn from the clinical framework. A daily Mind Fitness Check produces a balance score across the ten. A library of tools delivers short, evidence-based exercises tied to whichever strength most needs work this week. iOS, Android and web. Anonymous to your employer.

Thirteen Toolbox Talks
A site-ready curriculum, authored with Cognacity.
Each talk is fifteen to twenty minutes, designed to be delivered by a site supervisor, and tied to a specific psychosocial risk on the ISO 45003 register. Every attendance is logged as audit-grade evidence against the CCLA Q26 mental-health benchmark.
01
Managing pressure and deadlines
Recognising the difference between healthy stretch and harmful overload on a programme.
02
Sleep and recovery
The link between shift patterns, fatigue and on-site safety. Practical recovery routines.
03
Looking out for your mates
Spotting the early signals in colleagues, and what to do before the situation escalates.
04
Asking for help
Why it is hard in construction culture, and how to make it easier without losing face.
05
Speaking up and being heard
Raising concerns about workload, conditions or behaviour in a way that lands.
06
Bouncing back from setbacks
Mistakes, near misses and personal knocks. Building resilience without bottling it up.
07
Understanding your emotions
Naming what you feel before it acts on you. The first step in self-regulation.
08
Flexible thinking
Adapting when plans, drawings or weather change on you. Cognitive agility on a live site.
09
Social connection
Why isolation is a risk factor in transient site work, and how teams can counter it.
10
Alcohol and substance use
Honest, non-judgemental framing of the patterns the industry has tolerated for too long.
11
Financial wellbeing
Money worries are the leading correlate of mental-health crises in construction. Practical levers.
12
Physical health on site
Movement, hydration, nutrition. The physical foundations the cognitive work sits on.
13
Purpose and meaning at work
Why what you build matters, and how a sense of contribution protects against burnout.
How we deploy
A repeatable rollout, run by the same team running your S106 programme.
Ownminder is not handed over and walked away from. The Storey team operates the programme on the developer's behalf, project by project, with a cadence designed to fit how a construction supply chain actually works.
01
Per-occupier branded landing
Every developer, contractor and end-occupier gets their own branded entry point. Workers see the badge of the business that pays them. The clinical content underneath is identical and centrally governed.
02
QR codes on every site
Posters at the gate, in the welfare facility and at the toolbox-talk station. One scan opens the toolkit. No app install required, no sign-up, no employer ever sees a worker's individual data.
03
Line-manager training
A five-module programme delivered to site supervisors at every project that joins. The business and human case, recognising and responding, the resilience model, action plan. Operational, not clinical.
04
Toolbox-talk cadence
Thirteen talks rolled into the contractor's existing toolbox-talk schedule. Each attendance logged as a CCLA Q26 declaration, visible to the developer and the investor in real time.
05
Supply-chain rollout
The Tier 1 contractor onboards first, then Tier 2, then Tier 3. Engagement metrics surface where adoption is lagging, so the developer and investor can intervene before a project becomes an outlier.
06
Quarterly stewardship report
A single report to the investor's stewardship team covering coverage, engagement, talk attendance and incidents. The same reporting line a major investor already uses for environmental and governance disclosures.
The partnership
A clinical foundation, an investor mandate, an operating team.
Ownminder isn't a wellbeing app dropped onto a building site. It's a clinical-grade programme delivered with a psychiatric partner, paid for by an investor with a stewardship mandate, and operated by the same team running the Section 106 programmes on those same sites.
Clinical partner
Cognacity · Dr Phil Hopley
Cognacity is the leading UK psychiatric practice working with elite performance settings, including Premier League football, the UK Armed Forces and the City. Dr Phil Hopley designed the clinical framework underneath Ownminder.
Investor mandate
Legal & General
"At Legal & General, we manage over £1.2 trillion in assets, but our most valuable asset will always be our people." L&G is the first major investor in the UK to address the construction mental-health gap as a stewardship obligation across its development pipeline.

Beyond construction
Mind fitness with Oxford University Rugby Football Club.
The same model that runs across Legal & General's construction supply chain is now being adapted with OURFC. A grassroots high-performance setting with the same shape, legal obligation, workforce requirement, multi-year reporting. The pattern repeats.

If you build, fund or insure construction, talk to us.
Ownminder is currently rolling out across L&G's UK construction pipeline. We're open to conversations with developers, investors, insurers and Tier 1 contractors who want to do the same, at the supply-chain level, not as a bolt-on welfare line item.
