CRASH supports projects throughout the UK.
Thanks to the continued support and generosity of companies within the construction and property sector, in the last year alone CRASH has been able to help over 80 projects by providing professional advice, supplying some materials free of charge, and awarding cash grants.
The result of this generosity and practical sharing of materials and skills means that much needed renovation and development of hostels, day centres, training centres and night shelters can be carried out to a far higher standard than would otherwise be possible, providing a safe and welcoming refuge for people in need.
If you are a frontline homelessness agency based in the UK and would like further information on how to apply for help from CRASH, please visit our Apply for Help pages or contact our Projects Administrator Nicola Baskerville.
Please see our Case Studies section (immediately below) for detailed information on three projects that are currently receiving hep from CRASH.
