As David McGarry prepares to step down as Trustee after five years of dedicated service to CRASH, and ahead of his retirement from Saint-Gobain at the end of October, we would like to express our sincere thanks and appreciation.

David has brought invaluable insight, leadership and commitment to the Board throughout his time as a Trustee. His experience, thoughtful guidance and unwavering support have helped strengthen our organisation and its impact, leaving a lasting legacy that will benefit many for years to come.

On behalf of everyone involved, thank you, David, for your contribution, generosity with your time, and dedication over the past five years. We wish you every happiness and success as you begin this exciting new chapter in retirement.

Weโ€™re delighted to share the completed project at The Shakespeare Hospice, where an underused commercial kitchen has been transformed into a fully accessible, domestic-style community kitchen that will support patients, families, carers, volunteers and staff for years to come.

This fantastic project demonstrates the power of collaboration, and we would like to extend our sincere thanks to our Corporate Patrons AECOM, Arcadis, Knauf, NG Bailey and Pascall+Watson for their expertise, generosity and commitment throughout the project.

A special thank you to Nimit Raval from Pascall+Watson for helping bring this vision to life, and to the incredible NG Bailey apprentices Lauren Taylor, Brooke Hyde and Keeley Checkley, whose contributions to this project are a great example of the positive impact the next generation of construction professionals can make.

Together, we've helped create a welcoming, inclusive space that will support connection, wellbeing and community at the heart of The Shakespeare Hospice.

It was a pleasure for members of the CRASH Charity team, Trisha Pickersgill, Vipesh Mistry and Safiye Arayan, to visit the Altro Flooring factory recently and meet with Gemma Jeffry, Samantha Udeshi and Gemma Hart.

The visit provided a valuable opportunity to thank Altro for its continued support of CRASH and to discuss opportunities for future collaboration that will make a lasting difference to homelessness charities and hospices across the UK.

During the tour, the team gained a fascinating insight into Altro's manufacturing processes, innovation and commitment to delivering high-quality flooring solutions across a range of sectors.

Construction industry collaboration delivers lasting change at St Christopherโ€™s Hospice

We're proud to celebrate the successful refurbishment of the inpatient wards at St Christopher's Hospice, helping create more welcoming, dignified and comfortable spaces for patients and their loved ones.

โœ… Innova Care Concepts โ€“ principal contractor delivering the refurbishment works
โœ… London Building Control โ€“ building regulations expertise

Together, this collaboration delivered ยฃ188,566.41 of support, including a ยฃ75,000 grant from CRASH, helping St Christopher's maximise its investment and create spaces that are fit for the future.

The completed refurbishment has transformed three inpatient wards, delivering larger and more flexible rooms, essential infrastructure upgrades and a new hoist system, all designed to enhance patient comfort, dignity and care. Most importantly, it will help St Christopher's continue providing exceptional end-of-life care in calm, safe and homely surroundings for years to come.

A brilliant example of what can be achieved when the construction industry comes together to support charities delivering vital services in their communities. ๐Ÿ’™
