CRASH HELPS: Rennie Grove Hospice Care

CRASH is thrilled to announce the completion of a new car park at Rennie Grove Hospice Care, thanks to the dedication and generosity of CRASH Patrons, led by Arcadis, Hanson and Morrisroe.

Based in Hertfordshire, Rennie Grove Hospice Care provides care and support for patients in Hertfordshire and Buckinghamshire diagnosed with life-limiting illness.

The need

‘‘There was suddenly an urgent need to refurbish and redevelop our existing car park, and some of the garden, to ensure we secured much needed parking. Without refurbishing and creating replacement parking spaces local patients with life-limiting illness and their families would not have been able to access the wide range of therapies, treatments and holistic care provided by Rennie Grove Hospice Care at its Grove House building.’’

The Impact

It is the simple things that make life more bearable.’’
