Hearthstone partners with Leeds Housing Charity
Hearthstone Investments, a specialist in suburban private rented housing, has named Latch (Leeds Action to Create Homes) as its Corporate Charity Partner.
Latch purchases derelict and run-down houses in deprived areas of Leeds and refurbishes them to provide modernised, energy efficient accommodation for people who are homeless or in housing need. The majority of its work is carried out by Latch staff and volunteers.
Intended as a stepping stone to independent living, tenants benefit from the help of the charity’s support workers as they make the positive changes they need to eventually settle into permanent accommodation.

Through the partnership, Hearthstone will provide financial support to Latch through a range of fundraising activities. In addition, members of the team may also come and help out the Latch team during property refurbishments, as well as offering help in other ways where there is a need.
Andrew Tarbit, Finance Director at Hearthstone Investments, said:
“We are delighted to be working with Latch. The charity is making a significant positive impact in its local area by providing accommodation to those in need, with the practical support to help them get back on their feet so they can find a permanent home. As a regionally based charity with a focus on housing, there is a strong cultural fit with the strategy and philosophy of Hearthstone Investments.”
James Hartley, CEO at Latch added:
“With living costs rising and the number of people in dire housing need continuing to grow, the need for our work has never been more important. We rely on the generous support of businesses, grants and individuals to raise funds for our vital work and we are thrilled that Hearthstone has chosen to support our cause. We look forward to Hearthstone helping to raise funds to help even more people to benefit from our services.”
