Proud of its patrons

Proud of its patrons

Construction charity CRASH has thanked the companies involved in refurbishing and refitting a move-on house for previously homeless adults and has invited companies within the glazing sector to become its newest patron.

The charity said the contributions from its patrons will support and prepare residents for independent living, allow them to maintain their home, and teach them key life skills. The impact of the company’s efforts on the lives of future residents cannot be overstated.

To date, CRASH Corporate Patrons including Arcadis, British Gypsum, Dalkia UK, Gardiner & Theobald LLP, Genuit Group, Kingspan Insulation, Knauf Insulation UK & Ireland, Superglass Insulation and VolkerFitzpatrick have all collaborated on the project, providing professional expertise and construction products (worth over £13k) to ensure its success.

Homelessness charity Waltham Forest Churches Night Shelter aims to create a warm, comfortable home where residents can share communal living spaces but have privacy when needed, allowing them to prepare for lasting and sustainable independence.

In addition, the charity is keen to achieve the highest sustainability measures assessed using the BREEAM ratings.
