LandAid is delighted to have been shortlisted for the EG Superhero Award for our COVID-19 Emergency Fund and Pro Bono appeal.

The competitive nature of Steptober can make us forget who we are doing this for. We’re doing this for the 86,000 young people in the UK who face homelessness every year, and who for this year has been especially scary and uncertain.  

The LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund has now given out £700,000 in small emergency grants of up to £10,000 to over 70 charities in every region in the UK. These funds have already made a huge difference to young homeless people.

I’ve been truly astounded by the real estate industry over the past few months. You’ve stood by your charity through thick and thin - not only raising almost £1m for our Emergency COVID-19 Fund but now by taking the time to run, jog and walk to end youth homelessness at the LandAid QuaranTEN.

Today, LandAid, the property industry charity, today launches an emergency fund in response to the COVID-19 crisis, to support young homeless people and the charities that support them. The fund has so far raised £170,000 and aims to raise at least £1m over the coming months.

The LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund has given out over half a million pounds in its first month to youth homelessness charities across the country. LandAid, the property industry charity, is hoping to raise and distribute £1m in emergency funding in the coming months. 

On 7 April, we launched the LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund. We told you something simple: youth homelessness hasn’t stopped. We need your help more than ever. And you listened.

The LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund, launched on 7 April 2020, has given out its first grants to frontline charities. LandAid, the property industry charity, distributed over £100,000 to 12 charities in this first round of funding.
