Mental health first aid is a response. This model focuses on early, practical intervention delivered directly on site.
This project directly addresses a well-documented and worsening mental health crisis within the UK warehousing and driving space. Multiple independent and authoritative sources now point to isolation, prolonged solitude, stress, and lack of appreciation and accessible, practical support as systemic risks for HGV, coach, bus and van drivers.
Fewer meetings, hashtags and talking. Let's see more action.
We are independent and can fight for change, identify what is right and wrong, and take action for what our Hi-Viz heroes deserve.
We are not antagonists, we support the change.
The project is structured as a Community Interest Company, which means it exists to serve a defined social purpose rather than to generate private profit. Funding is allocated to vehicle deployment, staffing, fuel, welfare materials and scheduled site operations. Any surplus generated is reinvested directly back into the organisation to expand its reach, improve facilities, subsidise welfare sessions, and maintain long-term sustainability. Where appropriate, surplus funds can also be distributed to aligned charities or community initiatives that support driver welfare, mental health, neurodiversity or related causes. The asset lock and regulatory framework of a CIC ensure that funds are protected and used for community benefit, not personal gain

Haulage, warehouse, bus and coach operators and owners are not bad people, many just don't know what their Hi-Viz legends need.
And it's so simple...
Here All Day CIC exists to improve welfare awareness, communication and support across the UK logistics industry. The organisation delivers practical welfare engagement for HGV drivers, warehouse teams, forklift operators, transport office staff and associated logistics workers through mobile outreach, educational materials and peer support environments.
The CIC operates a converted double-decker bus as a mobile welfare and engagement unit visiting logistics sites, truck stops, ports, depots and industry events across the UK. The bus provides a calm and structured environment where individuals can step away from operational pressure, access practical support, and engage in constructive conversation.
The organisation also works directly with haulage companies, warehouse operators and management teams to improve understanding of what welfare looks like in real operational environments. This includes promoting better communication, reducing unnecessary conflict, encouraging respectful interaction, and helping businesses better understand the pressures experienced across different logistics roles.
Alongside physical engagement, the CIC distributes printed educational materials designed to improve awareness around fatigue, hydration, hygiene, concentration, wellbeing and workplace interaction within logistics settings.
Very importantly, the organisation also supports neurodiverse individuals, including those with ADHD and ASD, by creating simple structured and supportive environments designed to reduce pressure and encourage inclusion. We are sure that there are many ADHD and Austistic drivers, warehouse and office staff in cargo logistics that are not aware of being ASD, or admiting so, that with some very simple changes, would do so well with these changes.
Drivers often operate in environments with limited access to welfare facilities and structured support. - yet they are the high pressure true professionals!
Dyslexia, ADHD, ADD, Autism, Dyscalculia are all ASD traits.
We also believe that many drivers are on the autistic specrum. This needs very simple consideration and language when working with this group. They are great workers, when they are settled and their needs are met.
Andy's understanding of driver welfare is grounded in direct experience starting 40 years ago, 'up the road' with his uncles as a child when lorry drivers were still seen as knights of the road, The CB radio was your community and every driver cleaned up after themselves.
Over ten years ago, during a transition of employment sector, he spent six months working as a long-distance lorry driver. That time provided first-hand insight into the isolation, pressure, long hours and constant responsibility of vocational driving.
Living out of a cab, or in a van, bus or coach all day changes perspective. Facilities, access to decent food, using the toilet, safe parking, respectful treatment, and simply having somewhere to decompress are not luxuries. They directly affect concentration, safety, and long-term wellbeing. Andy experienced that cumulative pressure personally and saw how easily driver welfare can be overlooked in day-to-day operations.
Then, in 2025 managing the digital marketing at a local truck stop, with the support of the owners, he began making small, practical improvements focused on the drivers. Walking routes, welfare checks, blood pressure sessions and free bottles of water for all drivers created noticeable differences in atmosphere and behaviour. Those early changes proved that modest, realistic interventions can improve morale, reduce tension and shift culture. The truck stop manger being kind, made a massive impact.
Can you help us to spread this ethos and formula?
This combination of lived experience and operational involvement gives Andy a grounded, practical view of what driver welfare really means and he is the start of something that will change the perception, interaction and admiration of all van and truck drivers in the UK.
It's time for change.
The programme is already attracting interest from logistics operators, local authorities and welfare organisations for scheduled deployment.
This first bus, and the orange disk is the start.
We will get on national media, every industry magazine and take on partners, stakeholders and advocates for better welfare for all Hi-Viz heroes.
How can you help us?
Do you see this and want to be part of the change?
We have current connections and networks with national media.
Every industry magazine will pick this story up.
Can you help us?
Industry associations and organisations will support and promote this project - or do they even seem to care?
More than a bus, a project to support employers to understand welfare; simply.
We bring support into truck stops, depots, ports, bus garages and delivery points. It creates an opportunity for early engagement, normalisation of conversation, and signposting to established services such as CALM, Working Minds, Andy's Man Club and Mates in Mind, rather than attempting to replace them.
Working with employers who already do it well, we will show others how to provide proper employee support using a simple, proven approach.
