The Homeless World Cup Foundation is a unique, pioneering charity which uses football to inspire homeless people to change their own lives. We support grassroots football programmes and social enterprise development through a network of more than 70 Street Football Partners. We provide a focus for—and celebration of—their year-round activity by organising and delivering an annual, world-class, international football tournament for national teams of men and women who are homeless. Since 2001, we have been committed to “changing the lives of people who are homeless through football.” Today, the work of our movement is varied and extensive - from building awareness about homelessness and raising funds for our activities, to organising our annual Homeless World Cup tournament. The Homeless World Cup Tournament is our flagship event. Delivered by the Homeless World Cup Foundation in co-ordination with a Local Organising Committee, the event brings together teams from all around the world for an inspiring week-long festival of football. Participating teams are managed by our Street Football Partners and are formed by men and women all of whom have experienced homelessness.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my JustGiving page.

This year I decided to run a Half Marathon race every month which I finally completed on 13th December in Majorca.

I am raising money for the Homeless Football World Cup.

This very hard to reach group of people can suffer extremely poor health and some take up virtually no sporting activites and the project aims to increase access to physical activity. Through the Homeless World Cup project, homeless people will engage in physical activities which are fun, promote health and well being, raise self esteem, engage homeless people in services and ultimately becomes a step in moving people away from homelessness to a more settled and fulfillling life.

So please donate down and help this worthy cause. Read More to see the list of races!
