Celebrating Hospice Care Week and World Homelessness Day

This October, CRASH celebrated Hospice Care Week and World Homelessness Day with a social media campaign showcasing some of the fantastic charities we support with building projects to improve outcomes for children and adults needing hospice care and adults experiencing homelessness.

Hospice Care Week

Hospice Care Week is a chance for all of us to champion hospice care nationwide and applaud the incredible work done to ensure everyone can benefit from the very best end of life care. Our campaign featured the following:

The hospice provides inpatient services, hospice-at-home care, bereavement support, a phlebotomy clinic, and chemotherapy. CRASH Corporate Patrons Arcadis, AECOM, BAM, Heidelberg Materials & NG Bailey, and supporters Marshalls are working on the project.
The Shakespeare Hospice offers specialised care and support to patients with life-limiting illnesses across South Warwickshire.
