Every day of every year, thousands of young people in the UK find themselves homeless.
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 secure 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 to support projects that provide life-changing accommodation for young people facing homelessness.

"We feel privileged to have had the opportunity to support the MIPIM daily runs in 2019. This was our first event with the Property Sports Network. It was a great success. It was well organised, well attended, raised money for LandAid and exceeded our expectations.
The dedication of the team to continuously offer regular and new events to bring people together in the name of sport, fitness, charity and networking is simply refreshing.
We will be supporting future events where possible."
"We were happy to host a Self Defence event in our flexible office space. The evening was energetic, fun and useful, where we learnt some great moves from the professional and talented Taekwondo instructors. The event was a perfect size in terms of being intimate and friendly, with a great crowd of various industry faces. The sporting activity gave everyone the chance to earn the optional post exercise drinks that followed, it was a well organised evening and everyone left the office feeling ready to face any potential attackers should they need to!"
"A brilliant way to network at MIPIM, whilst getting some exercise and raising money for charity. I met like-minded real estate professionals who enjoy running - what more could you ask for before 8am! Thank you! “
"We had a great time hosting two events. It gave us a great opportunity to showcase our work in a fun setting whilst connecting with lots of likeminded people. We are looking forward to hosting the Property Sports Network again soon."
"Well organised event, I was a bit worried what the running pace would be. However it was steady and no one was left behind. The steady pace made the conversation easier. Great to meet companies from all areas of the property sector and it turned out our business were already dealing them."
"We hosted a cycling event with PSN and it was excellent. Clear and consistent communications with the team, a lovely group of attendees with common interests, and of course a great networking opportunity for all."
"MIPIM has the reputation of being networking fuelled by glasses of rosè outside Cafe Roma and the Property Sports Network offer a great way to challenge that perception with a healthy start to the day. The runs provide a beautiful view of Cannes before all the hussle and bustle of the day starts and are an excellent way to meet new people in a relaxed, informal way, while getting some exercise in. I attended 3/4 of the runs this year and find them to be a great way to prioritise your mental and physical health for the day ahead at what can be a very intense event. I would reccommend these events to anyone attending MIPIM, particularly for first timers or those who are looking to clock up a few miles while still getting in some networking."
"I’ve attended a number of the Property Sports Network events including running, yoga and cycling. They are fun and great for all levels and I’ve made some excellent business contacts and great friends."
"Great event. Well run and well attended."
"I've taken part in several events organised by Property Sports Network, including runs at MIPIM I've found them to be an accessible and fun way of making new contacts in the industry. Always good to meet people with similar interests and enjoy a well-deserved drink afterwards, especially after the night run in Richmond!"
