Richardson donation aids fight against youth homelessness

A leading real estate and growth capital business has pledged its support to LandAid in a bid to help end youth homelessness.

Black Country-based Richardson has made a £10,000 donation to LandAid to enable youth homelessness charities across the UK to continue to provide emergency accommodation and long-term support for those who need it most.

Richard son has also become a foundation partner of the charity.

It will create opportunities for young people and solid, stable routes out of homelessness.

Paul Morrish, LandAid CEO said: “We are so grateful to have received this new support from Richardson. 121,000 young people approached their local council for housing support last year alone.

“We know that many of these are left unsupported and often fall upon the vital care that charities provide in local communities across the UK.

“With donations like the one from Richardson, LandAid can continue to support young people in building a brighter future. ”

Carl Richardson, director at Richardson, said: “We are delighted to be supporting LandAid and to have become a Foundation Partner.

“Our family has a long and distinguished history within the property industry, and so this support for LandAid - the property industry 's charity - is in many ways a natural fit for the Richardson Brothers Foundation.

“We look forward to working closely with the charity and helping to create new opportunities for young people who need the support that LandAid aims to deliver alongside its partners.
