Story

Since its inception 10 years ago, The Fine & Country Foundation has raised over £940,000 towards alleviating homelessness and poverty around the world. The Foundation is unique in that it is run solely on volunteer time meaning 100% of the funds raised are given back to organisations on the ground, making the difference.

HELP US HIT £1 MILLION

This year, we're on track to reach £1 million total raised and we couldn't do it without your support. This is just one of the many fundraisers taking place this year, to help us hit this target.

About the charity

The Fine & Country Foundation has been created to help combat one of the largest social issues in the UK – homelessness. Last year, the Government estimated around 2,414 people sleep on the street on any one night across England, a rise of 36% over three years. Often the reasons for homelessness are misunderstood, with many blaming the individuals for poor life decisions and carelessness. The reality is: people become homeless for a whole range of complex and overlapping reasons that cannot be avoided, such as family breakdowns, mental or physical health problems or debts. Solving homelessness does not only involve putting a roof over people’s heads, it is also trying to tackle the root of the problem and asking the question: why did they became homeless in the first place? The Fine & Country Foundation is dedicated to bringing together all Fine & Country agents in over 300 locations worldwide to raise awareness of the causes of homelessness whilst supporting homeless charities.
