More than 55 property companies and 1,500 people across the UK came together yesterday for a giant fundraising effort supporting projects to help disadvantaged young people.

Donations are still being counted but LandAid says it has already exceeded last year’s total of £75,000.

This year, the LandAid Day theme was “All the Fun of the Fair”.

The property industry got involved in fundraising through doing various challenges across the UK, the City of London and West End, passing through some of London’s most famous landmarks.

There were cycling challenges including a pedi-bus relay from the West End to the City of London by GVA, a body zorb football tournament in King’s Cross hosted by Argent, hundreds of property industry workers in circus and fairground fancy dress, fairground games and bake-offs in some of the top property industry company offices.
