Since becoming a Corporate Patron of CRASH in 2022, we have developed a strong and sustained partnership combining financial contributions, professional expertise, fundraising and hands on volunteering to support homelessness and hospice charities across the UK.

During 2025/26, we delivered around £53,000 of support to CRASH through a balanced blend of corporate donations, colleague led fundraising, pro bono professional services and donated construction products. This included £9,500 in annual corporate patronage, £16,000 raised through fundraising activity, and more than £27,000 worth of professional expertise and materials donated to hospice projects, including Bury Hospice and Shakespeare Hospice.

Colleague engagement has been a defining strength of the partnership. Volunteers from Facilities Services and Engineering delivered major refurbishment works at supported properties, significantly improving safety, comfort and dignity for vulnerable residents. Apprentices also played an active role, gaining early exposure to social value delivery while contributing meaningful skills on live charity projects.

Our commitment has been recognised on multiple occasions. We've been named CRASH Corporate Patron of the Month twice, most recently in March 2026, and we were shortlisted for the Better Society Awards in the Partnership with a National Charity category. Fundraising initiatives across the business, including sporting challenges, regional events and raffles, have further strengthened both impact and colleague engagement.

This partnership demonstrates our ability to deliver sustained social value through long-term collaboration, mobilising people, skills and resources to create safe, dignified environments for those experiencing homelessness or end of life care, while embedding social responsibility across all levels of the organisation.
