LandAid’s partnership with Property Race Day is a true milestone in our history. Throughout the years we have raised a stellar £1,138,000, funding many projects that are changing the lives of countless young people.
As two organisations with a shared mission, we have been working together year after year, on turning a race day into real change for young people facing homelessness.
Property Race Day’s commitment sets a powerful example to the sector as to what a partnership with LandAid can do. If your business is ready to step up and make lasting impact with us, get in touch at partnerships@landaid.org.
Property Race Day unites professionals from across the property and built environment sectors for a unique day of racing, hospitality, purposeful networking and fundraising at Ascot Racecourse. Each year, the event evolves: broader reach, deeper connections and greater impact. Through our partnership, the funds raised at the event go directly into projects that give young people safe places to live and the support to build independent lives.
Every pound raised at Property Race Day becomes something a young person can see and feel: a renovated kitchen, a new bedspace, a calmer place to call home. The partnership turns a single day of racing into lasting, practical change for young people facing homelessness.
This year on 10 July, LandAid and Property Race Day have ambitious goals. Amber, one of LandAid’s long-standing charity partners has been selected as the charity who will receive the funds from this event. Read along to find out more. Be part of real impact, secure your tickets today.
These projects are two of the many LandAid and Property Race Day have helped make possible. As our partnership progresses we hope to continue creating positive lasting impact on young people’s lives.
Through its longstanding partnership with LandAid, Property Race Day helped fund the innovative Oakland Road service in West London, providing specialist supported accommodation and mental health support for young people at risk of homelessness. By raising vital funds and working through LandAid’s expertise and grant-making, Property Race Day is enabling pioneering projects like this to become a reality and helping more young people build safer, brighter futures. Read more about this project here.
The funds have allowed us to create a beautiful psychologically informed, homely environment, which is so different to the institutional environments these young people tell us they are used to. We believe the environment will be an important aspect of their recovery.Look Ahead team
In 2017, Property Race Day funding, distributed through LandAid, helped transform the kitchen facilities at Howard House, a supported accommodation service run by St Christopher’s Fellowship for young care leavers in North London. The £14,000 grant allowed for the refurbishment to create a safe, practical space where residents could develop essential independent living skills, from preparing meals to managing a household. By raising vital funds and partnering with LandAid to direct them where they were needed most, Property Race Day helped give young people leaving care the tools, confidence and support they need to build successful independent lives.
The need for the kitchen and dining room project came through discussions between staff and young people in 2017. The young people wanted a communal cooking space where they could learn about cooking and enjoy social interaction.St Christopher's Fellowship team
This year, Property Race Day is back! On the 10 July 2026, hundreds of property and built environment industry leaders will gather once again at Ascot Racecourse. The event has continued to evolve, broadening its reach, promoting deeper connections and enabling greater impact for the young people LandAid supports.
This edition’s fundraising efforts will go towards supporting Amber, a charity which supports around 100 young people at each of their four centres in Kent, Surrey, Wiltshire and Devon by providing a temporary, safe place to live. There, in a calm and nurturing environment, Amber provides a mix of support, structure, new experiences and training that builds young people’s motivation, self-discipline and skills. The young people they work with can be grappling with incredibly complex issues, but their goal is simple: to help young people move on from Amber into employment or training and a home of their own.
This year, Property Race Day and LandAid have chosen to partner with Amber to transform the ground floor of their Wiltshire centre. This exciting project will create the heart of the house, opening up the dining space, bringing in natural light and providing a welcoming environment where young people can come together to share meals and connect.
We are incredibly grateful for the support of Property Race Day and LandAid, which will enable us to transform our Wiltshire centre. Young people will be involved at every stage of the process, with an ambition to create a space that is homely, yet aspirational. We can’t wait to get started.Paul Rosam, Chief Executive at Amber
