Over 60 property and construction businesses across the UK took part in yesterday's future-themed LandAid Day in a bid to raise £150,000 for young people facing homelessness.
Last night, I had the absolute pleasure of being one of the judges at Construction Rocks. Now in its ninth year it's a staple in every muso's calendar, and channelling my best Louis Walsh and Simon Cowell, I found my skinniest pair of jeans and put my best tapping foot forward.
This year's future-themed LandAid Day is approaching fast and the property industry are getting ready to launch their ideas. Here's what's coming up:
This was no ordinary team of property graduates. The 14 Knight Frank graduates who decided to climb Mount Kilimanjaro for LandAid had the kind of track record that makes you feel exhausted just looking at it, ranging from marathons to Tough Mudders, long-distance cycling to epic canoe races, sky-diving to bungee-jumping, and even competing in athletics internationally.
Over 200 property professionals battled stormy conditions to conquer the Broadgate Tower last Friday, raising £40,000 for LandAid.
30 property professionals raced to summit 24 mountains in 24 hours last weekend, raising £8,000 for LandAid.
LandAid's most extreme challenge is just around the corner. As the daredevils and fundraising heroes get ready for the return of TowerAthlon, let's take a look back on last year's highlights.
It's fantastic to see so many fundraisers from across the property sector rallying people to tackle youth homelessness. The money raised from these efforts makes a huge difference to the lives of young people - a recent example being Roots and Shoots' new environmental learning centre which opened this month.
Most of us like the thought of raising money for charity but sometimes coming up with ideas can be tricky. Yesterday, over 40 professionals from across the property sector gathered at our LandAid Day Workshop hosted by the RICS (Royal Institute of Chartered Surveyors) in the hope of gaining fundraising inspiration for LandAid Day in October.
