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.

LandAid is supporting an influential new campaign by charity partner Circle that aims to lobby companies to compete against each other to hire young unemployed candidates.

England rugby legend Lawrence Dallaglio lifted the curtain on the National Surveyors Rugby Sevens tournament at a launch party last Wednesday.

In July 2014, LandAid launched its free property advice programme, a match-making service that pairs property professionals with charities seeking advice on their buildings.
