CRASH is your industry charity. Be proud of it. Be part of it.
This year, CRASH celebrates 30 years of working in partnership with the construction industry to create places that care for people. For three decades, together we’ve helped homelessness charities and hospices build, improve and maintain safe, supportive environments.
To mark this milestone, we’re inviting you to fundraise in aid of CRASH, so we can continue our vital work and support the next generation of construction projects that change lives.
By supporting our 30th anniversary, you’ll play a part in our next 30 projects helping people experiencing homelessness and those receiving hospice care.
Over the years, we’ve seen some incredible fundraising ideas, from bake sales and dress-down days, to sports challenges, endurance events and brilliantly creative activities.
How, what and where you fundraise is entirely up to you. The best ideas are always the ones you feel passionate about. We simply ask that your activity follows current government guidelines.
If you’re looking for inspiration, we’ve created The 30 Challenge – a fun, flexible and easy-to-organise team fundraiser.
Choose and complete a challenge inspired by the number 30.
You could:
Take part as a team in a collective challenge, such as travelling a combined 3,000km
Ask each participant to create their own 30 themed challenge to complete within a set time
Set a goal around 30 minutes, 30 miles, 30 days or 30 tasks
Big or small, serious or silly – it’s completely up to you.
Choose your challenge inspired by the number 30
Invite colleagues, friends or clients to take part – or go solo
Complete your challenge and send us a photo
Donate to CRASH and share your achievement
You can raise money through:
Donations for taking part
Sponsorship from friends, family or clients

The 30 Challenge is a great way to bring people together, create healthy competition and have fun – all while supporting a cause that makes a real difference across the construction industry.
To mark our anniversary, we have a special 30th anniversary badge you can use in your communications to show your support for CRASH.
Please contact us and we’ll be happy to share it with you.

Make a one-off or regular individual donation
If you’d like to support us without taking on a challenge, you can donate directly to CRASH – for example, £1 for each year we’ve been a charity, or by setting up a regular monthly gift.
If you are donating on behalf of your company to demonstrate your commitment to social impact and to play a part in our next 30 projects, please get in touch.
