Companies wanting to support the Crash construction charity’s Christmas card appeal have until this Wednesday (21 December) to get involved. In exchange for a donation, businesses can receive an animated e-card which they can then distribute to their own networks. Donations can also be pledged until 31 December. By constructing or rebuilding hospices, shelters and homes, Crash aims to help people who are homeless and sleeping rough as well as adults and children who need end-of-life hospice care.
Crash offers a range of set bundles for pledging companies based on contributions of £600, £1,200 or £2,000. The donating company receives a personalised link to their company e-card that can be sent out to the business’ bespoke Christmas card list, as well as images to showcase the brand’s support on social media.
Francesca Roberts, Crash’s chief executive, said: “I am delighted with the growing number of donors and corporate patrons contributing to our Christmas card appeal. Businesses can still declare their intention to contribute, and receive their own Christmas e-card, though donations will be taken all the way through to the end of December.”
During 2022, Crash has been involved in a range of construction projects across the country alongside the homelessness support charity, Emmaus. The team has organised an upgrade of facilities at the Helen and Douglas House hospice for children and teenagers in Oxfordshire, and the redevelopment of a rehabilitation house in east London for people wanting to move away from homelessness and addiction. More than 50 businesses have pledged support for Crash’s 2022 Christmas card appeal, including British Gypsum, NG Bailey, Crendon Timber Engineering and Genuit Group.
