About us

For over 30 years we’ve brought remarkable businesses and individuals from across the property industry together to achieve lasting change and strive towards ending youth homelessness.

In the UK, every 4 minutes a young person becomes homeless. Last year alone this equated to nearly 136,000 16-25 year olds. 

Many are forced to sleep in overcrowded hostels, on the sofas of people they barely know, or worse still, on the streets. Yet homelessness isn’t inevitable. It’s a problem that can be solved.

With the right support services and safe accommodation, we can prevent young people from becoming homeless and protect those who are. Unfortunately, it’s not that simple. Rising rents and reductions in benefit payments have had a negative impact on the country’s most vulnerable young people and organisations delivering critical services are struggling with an increase in demand. They desperately need investment to reach more young people.

That’s why we’re here. For over 30 years we have been bringing together remarkable businesses and individuals from across the property industry and wider built environment to support projects that provide life-changing accommodation for young people facing homelessness.

We help provide homes, jobs and skills to thousands of young people at risk of or experiencing homelessness, building their foundations to grow.

 

Awarding grants

We award grants to exceptional small-medium sized charities working with young people who are at risk of becoming homeless, are currently homeless, or have experienced homelessness in the past.

Brokering free property expertise

We match skilled individuals from our amazing network of partner companies with charities in need of professional advice.
