CRASH was the charity partner at this year’s Construction Products Association’s (CPA) Autumn Lunch

CRASH was thrilled to return to the CPA Autumn lunch this year as their charity partner.

Guests from the construction industry’s very best manufacturers and suppliers gathered for the networking event, which saw many members re-connecting in person with colleagues for the first time this year!

Thank you to CPA for their loyalty in supporting CRASH, it’s thanks to their generous guests that we raised a fantastic £6,443 in the charity draw. These donations will go on to make a lasting impact to homeless people and children and adults who need end of life care in a hospice.

“The CPA was one of the first industry associations to support the work of CRASH charity. Their loyalty and generosity has ensured that CRASH can develop and continue our work to construct buildings that care for people who are homeless, or need end of life care in a hospice. The members of the CPA and their products defines our built environment, providing the products and materials needed for homes, hospices and many other aspects of our society. We are sincerely grateful to each and every one of them for their help.”

“It was really wonderful to be able to support CRASH at our Autumn Lunch again this year. With the pandemic impacting so much on fundraising activities, we were thrilled to be able to run the charity draw and my thanks go to all those who donated so generously. We look forward to continuing this support for CRASH in the coming years.”
