Give it Away Limited is a Company who will undertake projects whose total profits will be given to
children and young people in need. These profits will be generated through the development and
building of property.

The Company was founded in 2005 by Charlotte Grobien,
a resident of Putney, Wandsworth, and its first undertaking
was the building of two new homes in the Putney Heath area
followed closely by one in West Putney. These were major
projects and  the profits generated have been of substantial use to children and young people in need, mainly in the Wandsworth and London area.

The aim of Give it Away is to make a difference to the lives of young people living with injury, disability, disadvantaged circumstances or who lack social or educational opportunities for their future. By providing support and funding through charitable organisations who work in these areas we know that we are making a positive difference to their lives. Wherever possible, registered charities who support local causes and who do not receive statutory funding are our major beneficiaries.

All profits from the sale of the properties, which were completed in February 2007 have been distributed after interest re-payments on the loan and all other bills were met. In Spring 2007 the big give away took place and in total £705,000 was distributed. Under the news section you will see these wonderful moments!  In 2009 the aim to continue generating profits continued with two “buy to let” apartments in Queen Mary’s Place, Roehampton.  The income generated from these flats has meant that the total given away to date is £760,000. The aim is now to reach that elusive Million pounds! With the latest project in Woking just beginning,  hopefully the target will be reached in 2012. See “news“  for full details.

The Company is managed by Charlotte Grobien whose skills lie in sales, management, marketing,      risk taking and “good ideas” rather than in the technicalities of building houses! She has personally selected and visited all the charities that the Company intends to support and she works closely with them. Charlotte was also responsible for the task of “maximising” the profit available when the properties were sold and for the interior concepts and design. The response to requests for “support” in this venture has been overwhelmingly positive and we are very grateful to the suppliers we have worked with who entered into the spirit of this project. In particular thanks must go to Laurence Goodman of Sage Consulting who advises on all aspects of structural matters and construction detail. Everyone who is “supporting” us is listed on this web site under “Supporters” and Give it Away is indebted to them for their kindness and touched by their generosity.

A full list of supporters plus a full resume of the charities who benefited and for how much, will be available once the properties are sold and the total profits distributed.
