CRASH Appoints Jo Smith to Board of Trustees
CRASH is delighted to name Keltbray as our Corporate Patron of the Month for February, recognising their proactive support, industry expertise, and impressive fundraising efforts since joining the CRASH Corporate Patron network in November 2025.
Although new to the Corporate Patron network, Keltbray has already shown outstanding commitment to helping CRASH construct and develop places that care for people who are homeless and those in need of hospice services.
Before formally joining as Corporate Patrons, Jamie Parkes, Head of Social Impact at Keltbray, visited Isabel Hospice with the CRASH team and fellow Corporate Patron ACO Technologies.
During the visit, CRASH confirmed that we would be supporting a new project for the hospice, marking the beginning of Keltbray’s hands-on contribution to creating essential spaces of care.
Commenting on this Jamie said ‘’Becoming CRASH Corporate Patrons is particularly significant for us as we mark our 50th anniversary, a milestone that inspires us to give back. We are excited to work with such an impactful charity and are eager to get started.’’
We would also like to thank Jack Clements, whose technical knowledge has already supported two important projects. Jack visited Emmaus Sussex with CRASH, meeting Karen and David to complete an initial building assessment. He provided early recommendations, which will guide the next steps in delivering an Asbestos Management Survey, helping ensure the safety and viability of future works for the community.
Jack also visited Barons Court Project to assess the space ahead of a Refurbishment and Demolition Asbestos Survey, which Keltbray will be supporting with. These early contributions demonstrate the real value Keltbray brings as a Corporate Patron – practical industry expertise delivered generously for the benefit of communities in need.
‘’Getting out and visiting the CRASH projects really shines a light on how important their work is. It allows the organisations to continue and improve their services which are so vital for people in need. I’m pleased that Keltbray can be a part of that and look forward to supporting more projects in the coming months.’’

Keltbray has also shown fantastic fundraising spirit. A team of enthusiastic runners represented the company at the Battersea Park Chase the Moon Run, raising funds for CRASH’s work across homelessness and hospice projects. A huge thank you to everyone who took part and supported the event, your efforts for CRASH shine brightly.
CRASH is proud to celebrate Keltbray as our February Corporate Patron of the Month.
Their enthusiasm, fundraising, and dedicated technical support have already made a meaningful difference.
We look forward to continuing our partnership and working together to create safe, dignified places for vulnerable people across the UK.
“Keltbray’s immediate willingness to contribute their skills, time, and fundraising energy embodies the spirit of our Corporate Patron community. Their support is already strengthening the projects we deliver for homelessness and hospice organisations, and we are delighted to celebrate their impact this month.”
