Landsec Futures Community Grants

We’ll be offering four funding rounds each year. Our first round of applications for Community Grants have now closed. Round two applications will open on 3rd July 2023. 

Landsec Futures is a £20m fund that aims to deliver around £200m of social value by 2030, supporting at least 30,000 people from underrepresented socio-economic backgrounds towards long-term employment. It will also provide the chance to increase the diversity of talent across the industry and in our business.

The fund reflects our approach to sustainability (Build well, Live well, Act well), and is an important step towards delivering our purpose: delivering sustainable places, connecting communities and realising potential.

Given the vibrant cultures we work with every day across our portfolio, we see that there’s significant opportunity to encourage voices within those communities, empowering them to lead change in the places they know the best. 

Community grants will be available for local charities to increase funding for challenges specific to our local communities. These unrestricted grants of up to £3,000 are designed to support not-for-profit organisations with daily activities. Funding opportunities will be transparent, with a shortlist created by the Charities Aid Foundation, and reviewed by community grants panels built from members local to each of our places. This will provide inside perspectives of what funding will make the greatest impact in each area, empowering the local community to make future-forward decisions.

Children Missing Education Digital Conference: 26th September 2023, 09:00-13:15

We wanted to make you aware of our upcoming Children Missing Education Digital Conference taking place online on Tuesday 26th September, and that the Early Bird discount is expiring next Friday, 23rd June. Join us to explore government policy and next steps to identify and safeguard children who go missing from school and support those unable to access education. Use code EARLY4030 for 20% off.

Keeping children in full-time education is the best way to equip young people with the skills they will need later in life. However, The Children’s Commissioner has expressed concern that an unidentifiable number of children across the country are not able to access education; the number of reported ‘Children Missing Education’ and ‘severe absence’ cases are still yet to return to pre-pandemic levels.

How can you address the key challenges, such as persistent/severe absence that damage future prospects and lead to Children Missing Education? Tackle the underlying barriers to attendance and deliver tailored support to help vulnerable young people stay in education.

Understand how life outside of school can impact student engagement and gain practical takeaways to support students experiencing emotional based school avoidance. Hear from mental health and attendance experts to gain insight on how to create inclusive educational environments that meet the needs of all pupils.

Understand how data can be used to identify Children Missing from Education and best optimise targeted support for your most vulnerable students. We will explore how you can improve safeguarding practices and ensure effective multi-agency collaboration.

Wherever you are in your journey to help Children Missing Education, join this event to keep up to date and connect with peers who are working towards direct and long-lasting change.
