“What a fantastic transformation – it is hard to remember what the dilapidated lounge and dining room even looked like before. I hope what we’ve done truly does raise the spirits of the homeless people living here. This is a great project to highlight what CRASH and their Corporate Patrons can do when they come together, adding true social value in this community!”

John O’Grady

Divisional Commercial Director at VolkerFitzpatrick

“I have been so impressed with the support and generosity of CRASH in helping Blythe Hospicecare to achieve this refurbishment project. It would not have been possible without this partnership, which included project management support, professional expertise and financial assistance. The outcome, an updated building to support the hospice care we provide in the local community, is a fitting legacy that will benefit patients and their loved ones for years to come.”

Alistair Rogerson

Business Development Manager at Blythe House Hospicecare

“The help and support from CRASH has been invaluable in enabling this construction project to go ahead. I have worked with many charities and organisations over the past 40 years, but none quite like CRASH. The idea behind CRASH, the industry involvement and the practical support, works so well. Our new apartments will help people who have been homeless and are living with learning disabilities and complex mental health issues, on their journey to recovery. We cannot thank CRASH enough for their dedication and support with this project.”

Gordon Moore

Chief Executive at Blyth Star Enterprises
