Dalkia Named CRASH Corporate Patron of the Month for May

CRASH is delighted to name Dalkia as our Corporate Patron of the Month for May 2026, recognising their generous fundraising efforts, valued event support, and ongoing professional expertise in support of CRASH projects.

Dalkia continues to demonstrate what meaningful patronage looks like, combining financial contributions with technical knowledge to help deliver safe, high-quality environments for homelessness charities and hospices across the UK.

Project Support

This year, Dalkia is supporting the Barons Court Project, providing valuable mechanical and electrical expertise.

The team has already carried out a detailed survey of the existing mechanical and electrical systems and produced a comprehensive report to inform the development. They will continue to support the charity by reviewing the builder’s drawings to ensure compliance with current regulations, as well as carrying out inspections on site.

This professional input is instrumental in ensuring the project is delivered safely, efficiently, and to a high standard, helping to create a space that meets the needs of the charity and the people it serves.

Fundraising and Events

Between 1 April 2025 and May 2026 Dalkia has raised £3,250 in support of CRASH’s work, including their contribution to our Christmas Card Appeal.

In addition, Dalkia generously hosted a Spring Reception at their Angel Court event space, boasting a wonderful terrace overlooking the City of London. At this special event, celebrating our 30th anniversary of creating places that care for people, Dalkia provided a huge £6,843 worth of support for the event. This was a fantastic contribution and helped bring together CRASH Corporate Patrons and Supporters in a fantastic setting, raising awareness of CRASH’s mission and strengthening connections across the construction industry.

Thank you to Dalkia for hosting the event, and to Dalkia UK’s Chief Executive Officer, Gautier Jacob, for hosting us and speaking passionately about Dalkia’s involvement as Corporate Patrons of CRASH. Thank you also to Gina Smith and Samantha Dimmock for their excellent support and organisation of the event. CRASH is extremely grateful for both the financial contributions and the time, energy, and hospitality provided by the Dalkia team.

“Supporting CRASH is something we are very proud of. Its mission resonates strongly across our business, with many of our colleagues feeling a genuine and personal connection to the life-changing work it delivers. As a longstanding Corporate Patron, it was an honour to host CRASH’s 30th Anniversary at our Central London headquarters recently and celebrate three decades of meaningful impact. We remain committed to CRASH as it continues to transform lives and communities.”
