CRASH launches Christmas Card Appeal

Construction industry charity CRASH has launched its Christmas Card Appeal, aiming to help people of all ages who are experiencing homelessness, alongside children and adults with a life limiting illness.

This Christmas, companies within the glazing sector and wider construction community can make a change for people. It begins when you make a donation.

CRASH says individuals are not just making a donation, instead setting off a chain reaction of kindness. The charity says ‘it’s the best return on investment a gift can possibly achieve’.

Donate and you can get the industry charity Christmas e-card, helping to create a wave of positive change.

How to get your Christmas e-card

Step 1: Visit CRASH’s website and fill out the form with your contact details.

Step 2: The CRASH team will contact you with more information and to confirm your donation.

Step 3: You’ll receive your Christmas e-card for you to send to your clients and colleagues.

Step 4: You’ll receive a thank you shout out on CRASH social media and depending on your donation value, your brand will appear in thank you communications in the new year.

Your Christmas e-card

The deadline to receive a festive e-card is the 20 December 2024 by 5pm. However, you can donate up to the 31 December, and CRASH will be in touch in the new year.

You can donate via the CRASH website, and clicking on the ‘Donate’ page, or by emailing fundraising@crash.org.uk.

For £600+, individuals or companies will receive:

  • Christmas e-Card
  • Company Name on ‘Thank you’ Communications

For £2,000+, individuals or companies will receive:

  • Christmas e-Card
  • Company Logo on ‘Thank you’ Communications
  • Recognition as a CRASH Christmas Champion on ‘Thank you’ Communications
  • For organisations that would like to donate a custom amount, fill out the form above and a member of the CRASH team will be in touch.

Who you’ll be helping

You will help men and women experiencing homelessness by constructing new accommodation, refurbishing day centres and providing a safe, secure place to call home.

You will also help children and adults with life limiting illnesses by improving and reconfiguring hospice buildings, enabling them to spend precious time with loved ones in a quality and accessible environment.

Easy to donate

You can donate by BACS transfer, cheque or online. Please get in touch with the CRASH team if you need a ‘Request for ‘Donation’ to process payment.

CRASH welcomes and appreciates any donations to its Christmas card appeal. In return, you will receive a unique link to your company Christmas e-card, ready to send to clients and colleagues.
