What we are asking

2008 advertisement

Quite simply, we are asking you to set aside the money that you would normally spend on buying and mailing company Christmas cards and donate it to CRASH instead.

Christmas puts a particularly heavy strain on our limited resources and every pound you give will make a real difference to someone's life. In 2007 we had a record number of companies supporting the appeal and raised a staggering amount of £95,000 all of which will go towards helping the homelessness projects we are supporting around the country. Read about the success of past appeals below.

If you have already agreed to send out Christmas cards, don't worry! You can still make a contribution!

How you benefit

Dedicated advertisements

2007 Thank You advertisement

In return for your contribution, we will acknowledge your generosity in dedicated CRASH advertisements scheduled to appear in the Christmas issue of major trade publications in the construction and property sector. Last year the advertisement appeared in a number of publications which is wonderful exposure for those companies supporting the appeal.

Less pressure

You ease the pressure on your company's internal administration by dispensing with the tedious annual chore of signing and sending out Christmas cards.

How to Help the Appeal

For a donation form, contact CRASH, telephone 020 8742 0717 or simply send a cheque made payable to 'CRASH' for the amount you would have spent on Christmas cards. Also include the company name as you would like it to appear in the advertisement and on our web site and your e-mail address for the e–card.

E-card option

2007 e-card

We can provide you with a Christmas e-card to distribute to your customer database. Specially designed for the occasion, this seasonally-worded card - which can be personalised with your company logo - enables you to explain your decision to divert funds to help CRASH.

2008 e-card option available soon.
