CRASH Charity
Our Chosen Charity
CRASH is excited to partner with The Big Construction Diversity Challenge and eager to discover the opportunities and experiences that await the teams participating in the 2027 event.
This collaboration promises to not only enhance our commitment to fostering diversity within the construction industry but also to create engaging experiences for all involved.
We look forward to joining forces with the teams and participants, sharing insights, and collectively working towards a more inclusive and equitable future in the construction sector. With shared goals and a passion for change, we believe the upcoming challenge will be a remarkable journey of growth and innovation for everyone.
Chief Executive of CRASH, Trisha Pickersgill, says: “The Big Construction Diversity Challenge showcases the very best of our industry, bringing people together to champion diversity, inclusion and teamwork. As construction looks to attract and retain future talent, creating a sector where everyone feels welcome and valued has never been more important.
We are proud to be part of this event and grateful for the support it generates for CRASH, helping us create places that care for people experiencing homelessness and those receiving hospice care. Together, we are making a positive and lasting impact on both our industry and wider society.”
‘The UK construction industry charity since 1996’
Their mission revolves around transforming environments for those in need, specifically in homelessness projects and hospices. By doing so, they aim to create spaces that not only shelter but also nurture, fostering a sense of dignity and hope for some of society’s most marginalised members.
Through their partnership with the Big Construction Diversity Challenge since 2025, they aim to further their mission of creating places that truly care, rallying the industry to make a lasting difference in communities across the country.
CRASH is the construction industry’s charity that helps homelessness and hospice organisations with their construction projects – creating places that care for people when they’re at their most vulnerable.
CRASH unites the industry and channels the expertise and products of companies, to transform hostels and day centres for people who are homeless across the UK. CRASH also helps children and adults who need hospice care, by creating caring environments where families can spend precious time together.
