LandAid has hit the ground running in 2017. For the first time, we will be holding two LandAid 10Ks in the same year.

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.

Where does my money go? It's a question anyone donating to charity has a right to ask. Being careful, accountable and transparent in the use of our supporters' donations is one of LandAid's core values. That is why, as part of its drive to improve transparency, LandAid has published its grants data on 360Giving.

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.

A fantastic £32,000 has been raised from LandAid's Christmas Card Alternative campaign, which closed earlier this week.

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.

What is the biggest threat facing charities? Political uncertainty? Lack of funding? Negative press?

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.
