Palmer Mandley and Sparrow, help to Raise The Roof

For Homeless Children

St Albans and Radlett estate agent Palmer Mandley & Sparrow, is supporting a special charity campaign launched by ground breaking property website whathouse.co.uk and housing and homeless charity Shelter. The Raise The Roof campaign aims to generate at least £1 million over the next 12 months to help the 130,000 children who will go to bed homeless tonight. 

Palmer Mandley & Sparrow has signed up to support this high profile campaign by making a donation toward the appeal.

Dominic Palmer, Partner, says “Palmer Mandley & Sparrow has always made it part of it’s business responsibility to support charities and bring help to local communities where it can.  The whathouse.co.uk and Shelter Raise the Roof campaign’s goal is something very dear to our hearts – providing children with a permanent roof over their heads a right every child should have.  We’re urging everyone to visit the whathouse.co.uk website– regardless of whether or not they’re looking for a property – to help this very worthy cause and help whathouse.co.uk and Shelter exceed the £1 million target.”

Adam Sampson, director of Shelter says “Every day, 130,000 children wake up homeless in emergency accommodation. The knock-on effect to their health, education and future chances is devastating with homeless children missing out, on average, a quarter of their schooling.

That’s why we are pleased Palmer Mandley & Sparrow have pledged their support to the Raise the Roof campaign which aims to end child homelessness and give every child a strong foundation for their future.” 

Rupert Bates, editorial director of whathouse.co.uk adds, “At whathouse.co.uk we firmly believe that everyone deserves a home so we’re delighted to be working alongside Shelter and to have the support of Palmer Mandley & Sparrow.  As the country’s only property portal to help homeless children, it’s a huge challenge we’ve taken on board, but if everyone pulls together and supports the campaign then I know we can do it.  The end results will be hugely rewarding for all involved, especially the children we’ll be providing much needed housing support for.”
