The On The Tools card, which combines discounts from more than 150 brands, with built-in mental health support, has passed 30,000 members in the four months since launch. 

On The Tools is the UK’s largest online community for tradespeople. The card offers everyday trade savings with mental health support in a single app, offering discounts across materials and tools, fuel and leisure alongside wellbeing content delivered through a joint venture with On Wellbeing, part of Aspire Software Systems.

On Wellbeing’s content is grounded in behavioural science and designed for short, practical sessions that fit around a working day, on a break, in the van, or at the end of a shift.

On The Tools’ own research found that 93% of UK tradespeople have been impacted by mental ill health, with 73% experiencing it themselves now or in the past. The single most common factor was their own finances, cited by 65%. 

With cost of living pressure building again, the card is designed to work on both fronts at once, easing the financial squeeze while putting support in the same place tradespeople already go for savings.

“Money is the biggest thing hitting tradespeople’s mental health, and the support that’s out there is usually somewhere they’d never think to look. We’d started building the app to fix the first bit, and On Wellbeing had spent years on the second. Joining forces properly means the trade finally gets both in one place, from people who actually know them. The white collar world has had this for years. It’s about time the trade did too.”

Lee Wilcox, CEO and co-founder, On The Tools

“Construction has some of the highest rates of poor mental health of any industry, and often the least access to support. Everything we build is grounded in behavioural science, but none of that matters if people never open it. Putting it inside an app tradespeople already use every day means we reach the ones who’d never go looking for help, which is exactly who we need to reach.”

Dominic Bennett, Founder and CEO, On Wellbeing
