LandAid has announced a £100,000 grant for Depaul UK to help create a new day centre for young homeless people in South London. With youth homelessness on the rise, daytime support and shelter are urgently needed in the area.
2016 presented quite a few challenges for the property industry, but in spite of everything, they showed an incredible energy and enthusiasm for helping vulnerable young people. Here's our list of 10 amazing things LandAid achieved with your help.
UK property companies Palmer Capital and Shaftesbury have each donated £30,000 to LandAid, the property industry charity, to sponsor the transformation of derelict properties in Leeds and Newcastle into homes for young people facing homelessness.
One of the reasons we're so determined to tackle youth homelessness is the sheer amount of waste we see every day - the wasted talent of young people who because they have nowhere to live, struggle to fulfil their potential.
The latest figures on homelessness are shocking. Between April and June, over 15,000 households were classed as homeless, a 10% rise on the same time last year. That means more families, and more children, struggling to put a roof over their heads.
Together, we've had quite a year. LandAid has united the property industry to support disadvantaged young people , and in April, we decided to focus all our efforts on ending youth homelessness. We've been busy crunching numbers, drawing charts and evaluating our progress and are delighted to bring you our 2015/16 Impact Report.
On Friday, the Homelessness Reduction Bill, proposed by Bob Blackman MP, passed its second reading in Parliament - its first major hurdle.
LandAid, the property industry charity, has launched a new campaign to encourage businesses to help turn empty properties into homes for young people facing homelessness.
One of the things we're proud of at LandAid is that as well as investing over £1 million every year in projects working to end youth homelessness, we never just write a cheque and walk away. We work alongside the charities we help, bringing in property expertise and often funding them more than once.
