CRASH welcomes new Trustee as The BIG March is just around the corner…

Charity can now offer ‘meaningful privacy’ to residents

“We are so pleased to finally be able to offer our residents their own space to wash. We know the communal washing facilities were off-putting for many current and potential residents. Having a private place to wash and shower will have such a positive impact on the wellbeing of our residents. We would like to thank everyone involved in making this project possible; it has been such a team effort.”

Michèle Price, Chief Executive at Winchester Beacon (homelessness charity)

Corporate Patron of the Month is…

Cundall has been named Corporate Patron of the Month for February in recognition of their support of St Giles Hospice in Lichfield. Through CRASH, Cundall carried out a survey regarding the upgrade of the heating and hot water system currently servicing the entire hospice building. Donating professional expertise reduces the cost of the overall project to the charity, whilst still ensuring the organisation receives a high-quality service.
