14 June 2023Team Reds10 fundraises for CRASH at two major events in May 2023
This May, two teams made up of colleagues from across the business took part in the 2023 Construction Industry Dragon Boat Challenge, raising vital funds for CRASH.
Dragon boat racing has an ancient Chinese history dating back 2,000 years with the Construction Industry event, organised by New Wave Events, returning for its 23rd year. The day was an amazing opportunity not only to raise funds for CRASH but also for invaluable team bonding for each of the companies taking part.

“Supporting CRASH through these fundraising endeavours allows us to directly contribute to a cause that resonates deeply with the construction industry and Reds10. CRASH has been instrumental in providing practical and essential support to those experiencing homelessness, offering them hope, and transforming their lives through the power of shelter and construction. By raising funds, we enable CRASH to continue their invaluable work, creating lasting impacts in our communities. These events provide a unique opportunity for us to come together as a community, transcending our individual roles and backgrounds, united in a shared purpose. By participating in these challenges, we not only foster a sense of camaraderie and teamwork but also demonstrate our commitment to making a positive difference in the lives of others.”
