“As a charity and an industry, we need to recognise and harness the power we have to achieve lasting positive social impact when we combine our efforts and set our sights on a long-term ambition" ~ Paul Morrish, LandAid CEO. #LandAid is the property industry charity, working to end youth homelessness in the UK; something we are passionate about here at Howard Group. It brings together remarkable businesses and individuals across the property and wider built environment industry to support projects delivering life-changing services for 16–24 year-olds experiencing homelessness. Every year, tens of thousands of young people become homeless. Many are forced to sleep in overcrowded hostels, on people’s sofas or even on the streets. By awarding monetary grants and arranging free property expertise, LandAid enables charities to provide safe, warm, and affordable accommodation within a supportive environment for young people, helping them reach their full potential.

Young People: "A topic that’s not spoken about enough in fairness" The Business community truly appreciate what we are doing in supporting young people. They tell us that more support is needed and that: "Young people of today don‘t really have a voice." We have been overwhelmed with the amount of support we have received since taking our latest initiative the Genuine Futures - Changing Lives 'Big Charity Pop Up Car Wash' Events on the Road. We would like to take this opportunity to send our deepest gratitude to everyone who has supported us so far. We have been to: Blackpool X 2 Oldham Cheadle Stockport Old Trafford Manchester City Centre Newton Heath Manchester With further locations booked throughout June: Old Trafford Oldham Altrincham Burnley Liverpool Supporting young people remains our number one priority. Together We Can Make A Difference. Individuals and businesses can get involved by volunteering, donating, or sponsoring one of our programs. By supporting Genuine Futures, you are investing in the future of our community and the young people who will shape it. We firmly believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to break free from limitations and build a brighter, more fulfilling, and a genuine future for themselves. No one should be left behind.

A few years ago, the charity I was leading won a HUGE fundraising bid. It was one of those moments that we all knew was going to change the face of our organisation forever. The contract was for 3 years, and included replicating our work in a different part of the county. The problem was, no-one seemed to want it. Our existing club was busier than ever, but the new one was gaining no traction at all. Rather than leaving the situation, I contacted the funder as soon as I realised that we would be unable to return the outcomes we'd promised. I expected the dreaded 'claw-back'. But instead, they thanked me for my honesty, told me to reinvest the remaining funds in the clubs that were producing incredible outcomes....and gave me extra funding to take a group of vulnerable children to the zoo for the day! The moral of this story - and my top tip for today - is to prioritise transparent communication within your team and with your all stakeholders. Clear, honest updates about successes, challenges, and progress build trust and foster a collaborative environment. Trust is the cornerstone of effective leadership in the charity sector, and communicating sensitively and well - even in the trickiest of situations - really does pay off! If you want to know more about how effective communication supports the stewardship of your charity's funds, you'll love my Governance Mastery program.
