LandAid makes grants to other charities to support a variety of projects usually
connected with homelessness. Their support is divided into two main categories: 
small grants made once a year to charities requiring a kick-start for a service 
or facility that would not otherwise get off the ground, and a major project, usually
lasting up to four years, in partnership with a major homelessness charity. The 
current major project is Foundations for Life, a partnership with Centrepoint to
provide a national network of centres that will give young homeless people the opportunity
to learn life, education and employment skills needed to enable them to secure both
a job and a home of their own.
