Whilst we may take cleaning our teeth or having a shower for granted, many people who are homeless have limited access to this basic right and dignity. This Christmas, CRASH Corporate Patrons supported people experiencing homelessness by creating washbags for some of the amazing charities CRASH supports. <\/strong><\/p>\n

An incredible ten Corporate Patrons took part in CRASH\u2019s 2023 washbag initiative, collating items such as soap, toothbrushes and winter weather essentials including hats and gloves. Over 200 individual washbags were created, with co-workers putting their own personal touch and care into each bag before hand-delivering to the charities.<\/p>\n

This year CRASH was able to include St Christopher\u2019s Hospice and Rennie Grove Hospice in the initiative, with Patron Companies creating individual bags for patients and their loved ones who visit. Corporate Patrons AECOM, ACO Technologies, Arcadis, BAM, Beale & Co, Dulux Decorator Centre, Geberit, NG Bailey, VolkerFitzpatrick and 8Build all gathered essential items this Christmas and delivered them to nine homelessness charities and two hospices.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
