Thursday was another brilliant LandAid Day - and I hope, my first of many here at LandAid. The rest of the team and I spent the day running around the UK getting involved with what you were all up to. But more importantly, we hope, saying a big thank you for all of your amazing efforts. It was fantastic to see so many people getting creative for us!
In the early hours of Thursday 7 September, 27 Colliers graduates from across the UK gathered at Gatwick airport to make haste for Geneva. The much-anticipated Colliers 'Tour de Mont Blanc' had begun in earnest, after many months of fundraising and preparation. Here's what happened, in their own words:
Yesterday we launched our first LandAid Midlands 10K, sponsored by St. Modwen, and what a success it was! We called for runners- and you all delivered! Over 200 runners from across the property industry braved the wind, put on their running shoes, and came together to raise vital funds to help end youth homelessness in the Midlands.
At six foot eight inches tall and weighing over 100kg I am not really built to be on a bike let alone cycle 100 miles on one. I have always wanted to do the RideLondon 100 and missed out on the ballot in previous years. So when the opportunity arose to participate in the event with LandAid I jumped at the opportunity and signed up.
Last month, LandAid, Palmer Capital and Opus North visited Canopy Housing to see a home they sponsored using funds raised for last year's LandAid Day in their annual Money Maker Challenge.
A ground breaking ceremony for LandAid House took place on Wednesday July 19, marking the beginning of construction for a state-of-the-art building near Old Street to provide 146 bedrooms for young people at risk of becoming homeless. The event was attended by James Murray, Deputy Mayor for Housing and Residential Development, and Una O'Halloran, Mayor of Islington.
LandAid's urgent two-week appeal to help those affected by the West London fire at Grenfell Tower has now come to a close. Over the last two weeks the property industry has responded to our Grenfell Tower appeal by pledging over £250,000, all of which will now go directly to the British Red Cross' London Fire Relief Fund.
The property industry has responded to LandAid's urgent two-week appeal to help those affected by the Grenfell Tower tragedy and by this morning, had pledged over £170,000 to go directly to the British Red Cross's London Fire Relief Fund.
