JLL sponsored a home with LandAid, bringing an empty property managed by Latch back to life as safe acommodation for homeless young people.

We're thrilled to announce the first nine of these projects from our new grants round. From Carlisle to Cornwall, these projects will provide young people with a safe place to live and the chance to build a brighter future. Read more about them in the list below and follow the links to learn more:

Earlier this month, 315 property professionals embarked on the seventh annual PropSki trip, which has now officially become the UK's largest property ski trip. Co-founders Will Chambers and Rupert Parker say this year's event was the most successful yet. But what is the key to the trip's success?

Thanks to the generosity of the property industry, LandAid has raised a record-breaking £40,600 from its Christmas Card Alternative 2017.

A new report has found that Live and Work', an innovative scheme run by St Basils, a leading Birmingham-based provider of services for young people who are homeless or at risk of homelessness, could also deliver a considerable public cost saving. LandAid, the property industry charity, has announced it is part-funding phase two of this pioneering project with a £50,000 grant.

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.
