Employees from Superglass have raised over £2,000 for CRASH, UK construction industry’s charity, by taking part in a sporting fundraiser at the Hopetoun Estate.
Nine employees from the Stirling-based insulation firm took part in the 5K inflatable obstacle race on Saturday 9th September, which featured 17 gigantic obstacles and is said to be the world’s largest inflatable 5k.
Established in 1996, CRASH is the UK construction industry charity, helping homelessness charities and hospices with vital construction projects such as roof maintenence, extension and refurbishment building and accessibility infrastructure.
Superglass has worked alongside the charity since January 2022 , providing resources and financial aid as part of a long-term partnership.
Superglass actively works alongside charities that support vulnerable members of society. Last winter, the Stirling-based business teamed up with community charity Start Up Stirling to provide support packs to ensure those who are struggling with energy costs remain warm. Included items were insulated clothing, flasks and hot water-bottles, alongside expert advice on energy efficiency.
Theresa McLean, Superglass CEO said, “Our main purpose at Superglass is to make living and working spaces comfortable and energy efficient. Supporting our charity partner CRASH is extremely important for the Superglass team. The charity’s construction support for homelessness charities and hospices matches our passion to create warm and secure environments for all.
“The team enjoyed a fantastic day out and are already looking forward to next fundraiser!”
Lucie Gillard, CRASH Partnerships and Fundraising Manager said, “Thank you to the Superglass team who raised over £2,000 to support our vital work with homelessness charities and hospices. CRASH only exists thanks to the generosity of the construction industry, and wonderful people like you who go above and beyond to help. As a Corporate Patron, Superglass underpins every project CRASH delivers and we are grateful for their commitment to constructing places that care for people.’’
