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.
On Thursday 20 October, 19 intrepid Colliers graduates departed England to tackle the dry and arid lands of the Sahara Desert in Morocco. They aimed to cover 52 miles, the length of two marathons, in just two days. Georgie Griffiths and Sam Keeling, two of the graduates, describe how they got on:
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.
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.

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.
