A Tynie Walk to Un-Vale Hope · 23 April 2013

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

Thousands of people in Scotland are registered as homeless, often through no fault of their own. Family breakdowns, and financial problems are only two of the reasons that a person can find themselves without somewhere to call 'home', something many of us take for granted.

As a homeless housing officer, I know more than most the challenges these peoople face on a daily basis, and it's this knowledge and empathy that has led me to volunteer at this years Homeless World Cup taking place in Poznan, Poland this August. On 18th July I will be walking from Almondvale, the home of Livingston Football Club to Tynecastle Park, the home of Heart of Midlothian, and back again, to raise money and awareness for the cause.

Your support will help make this tournament memorable for the people involved. Thank for you for taking the time to look at my page, and thanks in advance for your generous support.

It's a Tynie Walk to Un-Vale Hope.
