Coram offers support to over one million vulnerable young children and their families each year through finding adoptive families for children in need of permanent homes and helping parents by offering support through their children’s early years. Since 2018, our relationship with Coram has provided the Picton team with opportunities to volunteer and become involved with local events and fundraising in London. This year we became a member of the Coram Community Partnership scheme, which will see an increase our financial support of Coram and further volunteering opportunities for the team. In October 2021 our Director of Asset Management, Tim Hamlin, ran the London Marathon for Coram, raising almost £5,000.
The Funding Network is a charity which links potential donors to charitable cases and social entrepreneurs using live crowdfunding. Through regular attendance of these fundraising events, the Picton team can hear pitches from leaders of grassroots charities working to address social issues and offer support to those driving change. This year we were pleased to be able to offer additional support through providing The Funding Network a venue to host fundraising events. LandAid is aiming to bring the property industry together to end youth homelessness in the UK and support charities delivering life-changing services for young people who are or
have been homeless, or who are at risk of homelessness in the future. We support LandAid primarily through the Christmas Card Alternative campaign. Our occupier led charitable matched giving initiative supports occupiers within our portfolio in their local community- based fundraising efforts. Occupiers are invited to apply for a matched giving donation programme of up to £100 per year for a registered UK charity.
