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.

"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."
"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!"
"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! “
"A friendly, welcoming group of runners - the route was great and the pace suitable for all abilities with plenty of stops for regrouping. Lots of smiling faces and great to finish off with a drink and pizza from Markides Associates!"
"I've been taking part in the networking runs for many years, starting at MIPIM. The events have continued to grow year on year and this year at UKREiiF were really well attended. Always well organised, enjoyable and a great way of meeting new people, networking and starting the day in the best way possible."
"The PGA Networking was my first Property Sports Network event, and certainly won't be my last! I had heard great things from my colleagues about the network, and this event in particular. The event was well organised with a mix of industry professionals from across the sector. I'd have no hesitation to attend or recommend future events!".
"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."
"Great event. Well run and well attended."
"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."
"The inaugural Groundbreakers motorcycle ride was excellent. They were an interesting crowd, the day was well organised and you felt included from the moment you arrived. It was the perfect mixture of fun and useful contacts."
