On Friday 3rd October 2025, a team from Consult Group will be swapping their site boots for football boots to take part in the Vesta Construction Group Charity 5-a-Side Football Tournament. This exciting event will see our team join peers from across the industry at Powerleague Shoreditch for an afternoon of friendly competition, networking, and vital fundraising in support of LandAid, the property industry charity.

At Consult Group, we believe in the power of community and our responsibility to support it. This tournament provides a fantastic opportunity to do just that. It allows us to come together with colleagues, clients, and partners from across the construction and property sectors, all united by a common goal: to make a meaningful difference in the fight against youth homelessness. We are proud to support the vital work of LandAid and look forward to a day of spirited competition for a great cause.

The Event: A Day of Football and Fundraising

Hosted by Vesta Construction Group, the charity football tournament is set to be a highlight in the industry calendar. The event will take place at Powerleague Shoreditch in the heart of London, bringing together teams from across the construction and property community for an action-packed afternoon.

The tournament is more than just a kickabout; it is a well-organised event designed to foster connections and raise significant funds. The afternoon will run from 1:00 PM to 6:00 PM, providing ample time for networking both on and off the pitch. For us, it is a chance to strengthen relationships in a relaxed and informal setting, moving beyond project meetings and emails to connect on a more personal level.

Events like this are crucial for building a stronger, more connected industry. They break down corporate barriers and remind us that we are all part of a single community with a shared interest in its health and wellbeing. We are excited to see our team from Consult Construct, Consult Sustain, and Consult LDN come together to represent Consult Group.

The Cause: Supporting LandAid to End Youth Homelessness

The primary purpose of this tournament is to support the incredible work of LandAid. As the property industry’s charity, LandAid is on a mission to end youth homelessness in the UK. This is a cause of profound importance, and one that we are incredibly passionate about supporting.

Youth homelessness is a devastating issue that affects thousands of young people across the country. Every year, young people find themselves without a safe, stable place to live due to factors like family breakdown, leaving care, or mental health challenges. Without a home, it is almost impossible for a young person to find a job, stay in education, or build a positive future.

LandAid works by bringing together a network of property and construction industry partners to provide support for charities on the front line of youth homelessness. The funds raised are used to create safe, secure, and affordable accommodation for young people. This is more than just providing a roof over their heads; LandAid funds projects that deliver life-changing support, helping young people to get back on their feet and build independent lives.

By participating in the Vesta tournament, we are contributing directly to this mission. The money raised will help to fund bed spaces, renovation projects, and support services that give young people the stability and security they need to thrive. It is a tangible way for our industry to use its resources and expertise to tackle one of society's most pressing issues. Knowing that every goal scored and every pound raised contributes to this cause makes our participation all the more meaningful.

Why Community and Collaboration Matter to Us

At Consult Group, our commitment to community is a core part of our identity. We believe that a successful business has a responsibility to contribute positively to the society in which it operates. Our participation in events like the LandAid charity tournament is a practical demonstration of this principle in action.

This event aligns perfectly with our values for several reasons:

• It Promotes Collaboration: The tournament brings together different companies from across our industry, fostering a spirit of collaboration rather than competition. This mirrors our own integrated approach, where teams from Consult Construct, Consult Sustain, and Consult LDN work together to deliver the best results for our clients.
• It Supports Wellbeing: Encouraging our team to get active and engage in a fun, social event is a great way to support their physical and mental wellbeing. A healthy and happy team is a more effective team, and we are committed to providing opportunities for our staff to connect outside of the office.
• It Makes a Tangible Impact: We are driven by a desire to make a positive impact, not just through our projects but also through our community initiatives. Supporting LandAid allows us to contribute to a cause that creates lasting change and provides a brighter future for vulnerable young people.

This event is a fantastic opportunity to live our values. It is a chance to demonstrate our commitment to teamwork, social responsibility, and the wider construction community.

We Look Forward to Seeing You There

We are incredibly excited about the upcoming tournament and are proud to be fielding a team to represent Consult Group. We will be there with enthusiasm, ready to play our part both on the pitch and in the fundraising efforts.

We look forward to connecting with our industry colleagues, partners, and friends at Powerleague Shoreditch on 3rd October. It promises to be a memorable day of sport, networking, and collective action for a cause that truly matters.

Let's come together to support LandAid and show what the construction and property industry can achieve when it unites for a common purpose. We wish all the participating teams the best of luck and thank Vesta Construction Group for organising what is sure to be a fantastic event.

Let the games begin!
