One of UK’s largest house builders Bellway PLC donated £2,750 to the property industry charity LandAid. The donation was made at a recent LandAidreception held to celebrate its 25th anniversary.
Stuart Wallace, Managing Director of Bellway North London commented: "We are very impressed with the level of work that LandAid undertakes for the less fortunate in society and are delighted to support their efforts." Speaking at the occasion, Rob Bould, Chairman of LandAid’s Fundraising Committee said, “We would like to thank Bellway for their generosity. It’s great to see the property industry come forward to support the cause of the disadvantaged young who are particularly hard-hit in the current economic climate. We have also had a great response to LandAid Day, being held on October 13 and hope to raise £125,000 from the fantastic fund-raising efforts of the industry on the day.”
Nearly 100 senior professionals from the UK commercial property sector turned out last night to celebrate LandAid's 25th anniversary. At a special reception, hosted by Berwin Leighton Paisner, LandAid showed how, despite the current economic climate, their income has continued to grow.
