Meet Charlotte Grobien OBE, the property developer donating all of her money to charity.

 

About Charlotte

Charlotte Grobien OBE is the founder and CEO of Give It Away Ltd which she started 11 years ago. Charlotte has made £1.7 million from developing properties within the London and Surrey’s housing market which she has donated all to charity.

 

Give It Away is a commercial venture which sets out to make a difference to the lives of young people living with injury, disability or disadvantaged circumstances. Her road to social entrepreneurship began after a long business career during which she set up a successful conference management company, Forum Communications. After selling out in the recession of the late Eighties, Charlotte embarked on charity work as a business adviser for Young Enterprise, a teen mentoring project, and taught business skills to Wandsworth Prison inmates before establishing Give It Away by building 3 new houses in Putney, thankfully selling them before the property recession of 2008 and donating all the profits. She has close working relationships with the pro bono team who assist her professionally and with the charities that she decides to support, regularly helping them plan events and speaking as an ambassador for them at fund raising occasions.

 

At our recent Secret Supper, Charlotte kindly wrote and delivered the most fabulous poem for us to celebrate our reunion.

 

Home House, Secret Supper, 20th May 2021

 

The Secret Supper is no longer a secret

As here we all are at this marvellous meet up

They changed the day to spare us the rain

But we still had to dress like flowers from Spain

 

The 17th May finally arrived

We were all unlocked – told to go forth and thrive

With a jab over here and a jab over there

Please no more lockdowns – too hard to bear

 

We all missed the House and its food and its wine

Four long months with nowhere to dine

Their emails were kind and kept us in touch

But I hope you all know, how we missed you so much

 

So thank you for the Secret you shared with us tonight

You’ve helped us feel normal now the end is in sight

So pour us a glass – of wine there’s no lack

Giuseppe and Team – we’re all happy to be back!
