At ACR Build, we believe in more than just building homes; we believe in building stronger communities. Our team of builders in Harpenden understands that the foundation of a great neighbourhood is not just bricks and mortar but the people who call it home. That’s why we are thrilled to announce our partnership with X-4RCE, a local charity dedicated to supporting men’s mental health. 

This unique collaboration took a lighthearted twist recently, thanks to a special guest appearance from none other than Deadpool. Yes, you read that right—Marvel’s beloved antihero dropped by to bring a dose of banter and humour to one of our Harpenden building projects, shining a spotlight on the importance of mental health in our community.

A Fun-Filled Day with Deadpool

The video, now live on our social media, captures Deadpool engaging in playful shennanigans with our team at ACR Build. From witty one-liners to laugh-out-loud moments, the video shows Deadpool’s unique charm as he teases our owner, Andy Ryder.

The banter continues as Deadpool dons a high-vis vest and hard hat, attempting (and failing hilariously) to get building alongside our team. This comedic segment highlights the camaraderie at ACR Build while showcasing our commitment to fostering an inclusive and supportive work environment.

Supporting Mental Health Through X-4RCE

While the video brings laughter, the underlying message is deeply serious. Mental health remains a critical issue especially amongst men in the community, and X-4RCE is at the forefront of providing vital support to those in need.

By partnering with X-4RCE, ACR Build is proud to contribute to their invaluable work. Whether it’s funding therapy sessions, organising awareness events, or offering a safe space for conversations, we’re committed to ensuring that mental health remains a priority in Harpenden and beyond.

Through this partnership, a portion of every project we complete—from home renovations in Harpenden to house extensions in St Albans—goes directly to supporting X-4RCE’s initiatives. It’s our way of giving back to the community that has supported us for so many years.

Building a Stronger Harpenden

As builders in Harpenden, we understand the importance of connection and belonging. Our team works tirelessly to create homes and spaces where families can thrive, and our commitment extends beyond construction sites.

Community involvement is at the heart of what we do. Here’s how we’re making a difference:

• Local Employment: ACR Build hires local talent, ensuring our projects are shaped by people who truly understand Harpenden’s character.
• Local Sponsorships: Health and wellbeing is close to our hearts at ACR Build and we champion local sports clubs such as the Harpenden Rugby Club.
• Charity Partnerships: Collaborations like the one with X-4RCE allow us to address critical issues like mental health.
• Sustainability Efforts: We use eco-friendly materials and methods in our projects to build a greener future.
• Volunteer Work: Our staff regularly participates in fundraising events or awareness initiatives. 

Bringing Mental Health to the Forefront

Deadpool’s antics may have stolen the show, but the message behind the humour is clear: mental health is no laughing matter. Through this campaign, we aim to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health while encouraging open dialogue within our community.

Whether you’re looking for a builder near you or simply want to support a company that values its community, ACR Build is here for you. Together with X-4RCE, we’re laying the foundation for a brighter, healthier future.
