THE CHILDREN'S TRUST

Every year 40,000 children in the UK are left with a brain injury as a result of an accident or illness and it can be devastating – they may no longer be able to walk, talk, stand, sit, or feed themselves – sometimes all of these abilities.

At The Children’s Trust, we aim to help rebuild as many of their skills as possible, as well as their self-esteem. A child’s confidence is central to that relearning.

We help children do this through play, exploration, laughter and having fun; things that are often absent when a child has limited mobility or has had a challenging time. By combining music, singing, arts and crafts, day trips and other activities, with therapy, healthcare and education, children do not focus on what they cannot do, they just do it and have fun.

"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!"

"I recently attended a yoga event. Not only was it a great chance to keep fit and network, we also had a guided tour of the incredible venue. The class was suitable for all levels, so there was no need to be nervous about ability. I look forward to attending the next event, I’m hoping to be able to make it to the self-defence class next time."

"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! “

"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."

Mandisa Khabo | Greystar London

"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."

"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."

Chris Kirkland | City of Wolverhampton Council Wolverhampton

"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."

Tracey Frost | HLW London

"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!"

Philip Waind | Waind Gohil + Potter Architects London

"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."

Anh Nguyen | Aggregate Industries London

"I attended my first event (running) and found the experience highly enjoyable to meet friendly and likeminded people from the industry. Well organised and definitely a network I would recommend others join. I will definitely be back!"
