A decade of making a difference with The Fine & Country Foundation
As The Fine & Country Foundation reaches an incredible milestone of £1 million in donations, we have been reflecting on the impact that this decade-long journey has had in the fight against homelessness around the world. Thanks to the generosity of the public, our agents, and supporters, we’ve been able to make meaningful contributions to charities and initiatives worldwide, bringing comfort, shelter, and hope to countless individuals and families.
This achievement wouldn’t have been possible without our unwavering community, who each year show incredible dedication to our mission through various fundraising events, challenges, and initiatives. 2024 has been an extraordinary year so far, filled with inspiring events and record-breaking accomplishments.
One of the highlights of the year and a cherished tradition is our annual Carol Concert at the historic King’s College in Cambridge. Every December, this special event brings our supporters together in the spirit of the season, with choral music filling the magnificent college chapel. Attendees come together not only to enjoy the festivities but also to raise essential funds, with last year’s concert alone raising a record-breaking £21,000.
October’s Coffee Morning has become a much-anticipated event across our Fine & Country branches, inviting our community members to come together over a warm cup of coffee and delicious treats. This event not only promotes our mission and increases awareness, it also fosters community spirit, all while raising funds for The Foundation.
Every year, The Foundation awards two rounds of grants—one in autumn and one in spring—supporting charities and projects dedicated to combating homelessness. In spring 2024, 26 charities were allocated funding totalling over £41,000, a figure which will be matched when the Autumn Grants are announced.
This year, Sean Newman and Jon Cooke undertook the awe-inspiring challenge of running five marathons in five days—a feat that truly showcased the commitment and passion that drives The Fine & Country Foundation forward. Their physical endurance and mental motivation inspired many, raising an incredible £7,200 all while spreading awareness of our mission.
Reaching £1 million in donations is more than just a number—it represents the lives we’ve touched, the communities we’ve strengthened, and the futures we’ve helped brighten at a global scale. While we celebrate this milestone, we also look forward to the next chapter. The Fine & Country Foundation will continue to expand its efforts and raise money for homelessness charities around the world. Here’s to another decade of impact, with your support.
