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.

"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."

"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!"

"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 took part in the online pilates, HIIT and yoga morning sessions during lock-down. The instructors were amazing, motivating us to push ourselves and always remaining positive. It’s also given me a new love of pilates – thank you!"

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!"

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."

Karl Weston | Write Research Company London

"The Property Sports Network has allowed me to expand my network whilst having fun and enjoying a similar interest to others. I have been several times and always feel the classes are very high quality, very down to earth and an excellent way to break the ice with new contacts. The relaxed yet informative environment is a real plus, They are also very well organised and are at great venues too. Highly recommended, 5 stars."

Anna Silkstone | Colliers London

"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! “

"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."
