LandAid, the property industry charity, has launched the LandAid Christmas Appeal, asking the industry to help support young homeless people through the winter.
This year, the young and homeless have been more isolated than ever. For many, this Christmas may be a difficult time. The young and homeless may not be able to see friends and family, and will continue to feel alone.
You can help give young and homeless people the the Christmas they deserve.
Option 1
£12 could pay for a young person’s phone contract, ensuring they can keep in touch with their support network over the Christmas period.
Option 2
£29 could provide kitchen essentials, so young homeless people are able to cook hot and nutritious meals this winter.
Option 3
£50 can give a young person a session with a mental health advocate to help with social isolation, exacerbated by Covid and Christmas.
Option 4
£164 could bring someone in from the cold this winter and pay for a month’s stay in a project where LandAid has created a bed space.

Paul Morrish, chief executive at LandAid, said: “Without the safety and security of a home, without somewhere to isolate if they need, many now without jobs, unable to heat their homes and feed themselves; the pandemic has been impossible for thousands of young people across the country. Following on from the support shown for homeless young people through the LandAid Covid-19 Emergency Fund, we are now asking people working in the industry to make a small donation to help young people through the winter: just £12 will make a huge difference.”
The campaign is supported by: Abstract Securities, Atkins, CBRE, CoStar, Derwent, James Andrew International, Knight Frank, Logicor, SEGRO and Siren Design.
