RESAPOL, a UK supplier of construction chemicals, says it’s pleased to introduce the Resapol Foundation, the charitable arm of the business that aims to make a positive, lasting difference to people’s lives by awarding donations to charities to assist them in the incredible work they do every day.

As part of its ongoing work The Resapol Foundation says it’s delighted to contribute £1,000 to the Lighthouse Construction Industry Charity.

Our contribution aims to help sustain their work and ensure their continued impact within the industry.’
