CRASH has a longstanding relationship with homelessness charity, Emmaus Hastings & Rother, working together on a series of projects to revamp their community site and Charity Superstore. Most recently the charity contacted CRASH to help add some finishing touches that would both brighten up the space and make it more welcoming to companions and shoppers. So, CRASH called upon its wonderful network of Corporate Patrons and Supporters to help\u2026 <\/strong><\/p>\n

Emmaus Hastings and Rother provide a home and meaningful work for 23 companions (formerly homeless people). These companions take up meaningful work in the Charity Superstore, collecting, renovating, and reselling donated goods. As the charity\u2019s primary income source, the Superstore not only supports the community financially but provides companions with life skills to help them get back on their feet.<\/p>\n

The need<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Emmaus Hastings and Rother wanted to brighten up the area between the accommodation building and charity superstore, whilst not restricting access to either building.<\/p>\n

The solution<\/strong><\/h2>\n

CRASH contacted Supporter, Aimbec Carpentry who kindly donated planters free of charge, positioned on wheels these planters can be easily moved should access be required.<\/p>\n

All that was needed now, was some help to tidy up the space, fill the planters and paint them \u2013 that\u2019s when CRASH Corporate Patrons Dulux Decorator Centre and Beale & Co stepped in\u2026<\/p>\n

Beale & Co Volunteers, Anna Braden, Benjamin Spannuth and Andrew Geach made the journey to the coast armed with paintbrushes and paint kindly donated by CRASH Corporate Patron, Dulux Decorator Centre, the volunteers gave their time and painting skills to transform the charities planters and brighten up the space.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n
