At Fiera Real Estate UK, we understand the important role that our business plays in responsibly impacting the wellbeing of our planet, people and communities. Over the past three years, we have raised over £200,000 for a variety of charities, including LandAid, Duty to Care and Grace Academy. We are dedicated to giving back to the communities in which we live, work and invest, to create a positive long-lasting impact.
Our Charities: Fundraiser for Grace Academy, Coventry
Grace Academy, Coventry, is a secondary school with over 800 pupils. The main catchment area covers some of the poorest parts of the UK, resulting in a high proportion of disadvantaged families whose income are likely to be less than £18,000 per annum. The Academy estimates that its percentage of disadvantaged pupils is more like 55% compared to the 20% national average. On 13th – 15th May, over 200 property professionals took part in the Fiera Real Estate Ekiden Fundraiser, raising money for Grace Academy to fund the school’s new library, sports, music and science equipment and learning support for the pupils, to help them flourish in their development, confidence, and resilience. The campaign raised over £53,000!
Our Communities: Warehouse donated to aid Ukrainian efforts
Fiera Real Estate and Operating Partner Packaged Living donated the use of their 41,000 sq.ft Southampton building to the Polish Social Club, to aid its efforts in the humanitarian support of Ukrainian refugees. The former Toys ‘R’ Us building will be used as storage space for donations being sent out to the refugees.
Our Charities: Covid-19 Fundraiser for the NHS
The impact of coronavirus on NHS workers has been profound. From a recent survey, nearly half of medics working in intensive care are experiencing symptoms of PTSD, severe depression or anxiety. On 23rd – 25th April, over 180 property professionals took part in the Fiera Real Estate Ekiden Covid-19 Fundraiser to raise money for Duty To Care, a charity that provides virtual therapy sessions to NHS workers in need of support, to enable them to improve and sustain their mental health and wellbeing. Teams of 10 competed in a walking, running and cycling challenge to cover the most distance and raise the most money. The campaign raised over £22,000 for the charity.
Our Communities: 300-bed hospital let to the NHS
Fiera Real Estate and Operating Partner Angle Property donated their Headley Court facility to the NHS to form a temporary 300-bed hospital to help meet the local needs for health care facilities. The creation of the temporary hospital highlights Fiera Real Estate’s desire to support local communities across the UK, and its core principle of delivering back to society by positively impacting the community and being part of something bigger than itself.
