CRASH Newsletter: November 2023

Teamwork makes the dream work! From collaborating on fundraisers to transforming a homelessness day centre…

1. Team effort transforms day centre for people who are homeless

“The Manna approached CRASH seeking help with a shower that was so well-used it had become shabby and a floor that had pieces missing. CRASH undertook to tackle both these problems. But it didn’t stop there! … CRASH made us feel we were working in partnership rather than being recipients of charity. We now feel much more confident that we can offer our visitors a good standard of facilities and they feel that they matter.” 

Anne Cartwright, Volunteer at The Manna

2. The number one way you can help people this Winter…

December is only a few days away and time is running out to donate to our Christmas card appeal. Your support is vital to our work transforming buildings to construct safe, warm, and caring environments so people can receive the care they need and deserve. Your donation matters. By supporting CRASH this Winter, you will showcase you and your company’s commitment to helping people experiencing homelessness, and those who need hospice care.

3. Corporate Patrons collaborate in aid of CRASH

Corporate Patrons are the beating heart of CRASH, and we love it when different companies join forces to fundraise. Beale & Co and Cundall hosted a quiz night together, inviting clients and colleagues for some friendly competition. Meanwhile, Dalkia and VolkerFitzpatrick hiked the National 3 Peaks, raising £10,000. Next-gen cross-over? Project team collaboration? You tell us!

4. Get planning your company’s CRASHmas Jumper Day today!

Choose a date, gather your team, rock your Christmas jumper, and make a donation to CRASH. Let us know you’re taking part and receive your company’s very own #CRASHmasJumperDay image to promote your fundraiser. Whatever day you choose, you will be making a difference.
