The campaign, called 'School Finds', invited delegates to discover ten hidden, branded cubes placed throughout the UKREIIF venue. Each time a box was found, Pick Everard pledged to donate £500 to the National Literacy Trust, an independent charity that empowers children, young people, and adults from disadvantaged communities with the literacy skills they need to succeed.

Alastair Hamilton, chief operating officer at Pick Everard, said: “UKREIiF is one of the biggest events in our calendar, bringing together key decision-makers in UK property and infrastructure.

“It was the perfect platform to unveil our latest CSR initiative and show our support for the National Literacy Trust and the incredible work they do. “By supporting literacy and STEM education, we're helping to build the next generation of talent our industry needs — bright, creative, confident young people ready to shape the world around them for the better.”
