New Resource Centre giving homeless people employability and life skills to get back into training, education and work
CRASH is the construction industry’s charity.
CRASH assists homelessness charities and hospices with their construction projects by sourcing pro-bono or discounted professional expertise, and construction products, from our Corporate Patron companies and supporters within the industry.
CRASH has built long-lasting, significant partnerships with companies in the construction industry. We work collaboratively with all of the homelessness and hospice charities we support to deliver assistance in three ways:
Professional Expertise
CRASH can source pro-bono or discounted professional expertise thanks to our Corporate Patrons. This might include architects, engineers, quantity surveyors or contractors.
Construction Products
CRASH can introduce product specifiers to ensure the correct products are selected, and source free-of-charge or discounted construction products.
Grant Giving
CRASH awards grants which are made possible thanks to the generosity of the construction and property industry.
Well-designed and expertly built environments have a positive effect on how people feel and behave.
