CRASH Newsletter: September 2024
Arcadis named Corporate Patron of the Month for November
Arcadis has been chosen as the CRASH ‘Corporate Patron of the Month’ for November.
This is in recognition of their invaluable support providing CRASH with Project Advisors to visit the charities who apply for help with their buildings. CRASH visits charities who meet our eligibility criteria, no matter where they are based in the UK.
Our thanks to Project Advisors Laura Collins, Guy Norton, Tim Austin, Anna Fischer-Vousden, Simon Hainsworth, Mark Lee, Lara Sofoluwe and Will Woodward for sharing their time and professional expertise to help homelessness charities and hospices.
A special mention to Laura Collins who goes above and beyond to coordinate and connect CRASH with Arcadians to volunteers on projects across the UK.
This support enables CRASH to provide quality reports, empowering charities to make informed decisions that will improve their buildings, and have a positive impact on people experiencing homelessness, and those who need hospice care.
Throughout the last 2 months, since CRASH Projects Manager Vipesh Mistry joined the team, we have visited 7 projects with support from the Arcadis team. From a homelessness charity requiring advice on constructing a new day centre to a hospice who needed support to develop an achievable heating strategy.
Arcadis Project Advisors use volunteering hours and record the value of their time as an in-kind contribution to the charity, adding value to charity projects whilst gaining experience of unique projects.
“The Arcadis Team are all extremely proud to work alongside CRASH supporting some excellent homelessness and hospice charities across the county and it is very gratifying to have our work recognised. We have supported a range of projects in 2023 from providing initial advice through to delivery of professional services from our Project and Cost Management, Surveying, Heritage, Design Services and Transformation Teams. We are very grateful to receive this recognition from CRASH – thank you!”
