The LandAid 10K calls on runners of all abilities to join the race to end youth homelessness! Now with a new 5K course, there's more than one way you can take part in property's biggest running event. Ahead of this year's race, we asked some of last year's trophy winners for their top tips for race day success:
LandAid is calling on runners to take on property's toughest 10K. The race, sponsored by St. Modwen, will take place on Friday 14 September in Longbridge, Birmingham. All funds raised will go towards the aim of ending youth homelessness in the Midlands.

Welfare reforms are contributing to homelessness among young people aged 16 to 24 by affecting their ability to access and sustain housing, according to Homeless Link's Young & Homeless 2018 report, published today. Read the Young & Homeless 2018 executive summary and full report, funded by LandAid and Comic Relief.
LandAid is proud to be one of the founding partners of a ground-breaking initiative in Bristol called East Street Mews. The project, the brainchild of LandAid, Cubex and Developing Health & Independence (DHI), will create vital housing that will transform the lives of young people in Bristol. Realising there was a major gap in provision for young people experiencing homelessness who are not eligible for other forms of support, they came together to donate their time, investment and expertise to address the problem.
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who has sponsored and helped me raise more than £5,000 so far. I am going to continue fundraising until my 50th birthday on 22nd June by which time I hope to achieve my £10,000 target.
Today, 3 April 2018, the long-awaited Homelessness Reduction Act comes into play. The biggest change to homelessness law in England in forty years, it has been hailed as a 'crucial step forward' by Jon Sparkes, Chief Executive of homelessness charity Crisis. But what difference will it really make?
Attending the MIPIM Conference in Cannes was something that filled me with excitement, looking forward to the raft of opportunities that lay ahead. Being in the charity sector, there aren't many opportunities to travel to Cannes on business! However, in the wake of the #MeToo movement and The President's Club- the property sector has been under fire. Not to mention the media attack on the charity sector, due diligence has never been higher on the agenda. Whilst attending MIPIM is a fabulous opportunity and one that would provide endless contacts and opportunities for LandAid, it also posed potential risks to attendees and organisations alike.
My time as an intern at LandAid has been both educational and rewarding in equal measure. While homelessness is an issue which has always been important to me, I did not appreciate how my knowledge of the subject would completely transform after working for the property industry charity. I could write a book on my experiences and how much I've learnt! But here are my top five take home' messages which should hopefully provide a snapshot of my time working for LandAid.
