uniting to end youth homelessness
Every penny raised for the LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund has gone directly to charities supporting young homeless people in crisis as a result of the pandemic.
We've allocated emergency funds to homelessness charities in communities across the UK that need our support more than ever. The fund will enable charities up and down the country to provide vital support and meet the needs of young homeless people through this crisis, from basic necessities to emergency support - - food, a safe space to isolate or recuperate, money to pay the bills, and vital mental health support.
Below are our current grants given by the LandAid COVID-19 Emergency Fund.
