If you are looking for a charity to support at Christmas, consider CRASH, the construction industry’s charity helping homelessness charities and hospices with vital building projects.

Construction and property companies from across the industry are encouraged to take part in the CRASH Christmas card appeal. In return for a one-off donation, companies will receive a festive e-card with a unique link, ready to share with clients and colleagues or post on social media, alongside other benefits to showcase your commitment. *

CRASH exists to ‘construct places that care for people’ and their UK-wide reach to 40 projects in 2022/23 is testament to the generosity of the companies and individuals from within the construction industry. CRASH’s recent transformation project at homelessness day centre The Manna epitomises exactly why their work, and your vital support is so needed.

With an average of 90 visitors a day, The Manna offer a safe place where people can visit without judgment; shower and clean their clothes; enjoy hot homemade food and receive independent advice and support.

The well-used building had faced years of wear and tear; with damaged paint work, broken doors and uneven flooring that caused a trip-hazard.

The shower room is used up to 25 times a day and needed a complete transformation. The people who visit The Manna do not complain or take notice of the building’s flaws, they are simply grateful to have a shower – this refurbishment project was about creating a higher standard that makes the people who visit feel valued.
