At Jamie's Farm in Herefordshire, the second project from the team behind the hugely successful Hill House Farm in Wiltshire, many young people experience the country for the very first time.

The morning after the LandAid Run - limbs still aching - I visited Roots and Shoots in Lambeth, a project LandAid has supported over a number of years. While there I heard the story of Daniel.

I'm not aware if 'to Blatter' has become a verb yet. I suspect it will soon - 'To wilfully ignore the evidence, to turn a blind eye, to believe that night is day.'

On Thursday 11 June, our Grants and Projects Officer Elise travelled to Northern Ireland to visit two inspiring charities who are tackling disadvantage. Here's her write-up:

It's 10am on a bright and blustery Sunday morning in Richmond, and I'm stood in the middle of a rugby pitch trying to stop our company flags from being carried off down field.

Two of the grants that LandAid had made were to charities that wanted to provide new kitchens for their projects. Graham Mynott from Keyhouse in Bradford showed us round the large kitchen that we'd funded and described how it had helped them support young people who had been homeless to learn basic cooking skills.

And so yesterday evening, colleagues from across the property industry gathered at Legal and General's city HQ to celebrate LandAid's newest network: the Ambassadors.

My first charity visit as a LandAid Ambassador was to a project in Leeds called Renew.

LandAid is proud to be the charity of choice of tonight's iconic Property Awards. Run by the team at Property Week, the Awards celebrate the great and the good of the industry, whilst also raising a significant sum of money for charity.
