As a significant creator of jobs across real estate, construction, customer service and retail, we have an important role in helping to create a more inclusive economy. One that helps tackle inequalities specific to our local areas and addresses the current and future skills we need.
Landsec Futures

The fund is a 10-year commitment, allowing us to make a sustained impact in our industry and local communities.

Real Estate Bursaries
We’re improving representation in placemaking careers across the real estate industry through financial support and mentoring.
Our real estate bursaries provide a unique opportunity to increase the diversity of talent across the industry and in our business. We offer these in partnership with universities around the UK, available to candidates meeting social mobility criteria who are applying for specific real estate courses. Bursary recipients will be offered mentoring and employability support from Landsec volunteers to build their confidence and professional networks, before entering a career in the real estate industry. All university courses are RICS accredited.
We’re supporting local people with the skills and opportunities to enter careers in our industry through 3-year partnerships with local employability charities.
Every three years, we open the opportunity to apply for funded grants to support charity and community partners local to our places. These three-year programmes work with people from underrepresented socio-economic backgrounds to inspire them to consider careers in real estate and help them into work.
Community Grants
We’re working with our communities to address important issues through grant awards to local charities and community groups.
