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

<p>Well guys, a very warm welcome to the page to pop your pennies in.</p> <p>If you don't know me already, my name is Amanda Quinn the current Miss Glasgow and cycling-mad girl.</p> <p>You are probably on this page because you are concerned, just like me, about the increasingly extreme poverty that so many men, woman and children find themselves in, with no way out. Its a viscious cycle for some great people who want so much more from life.</p> <p>I have already pedalled my way round all the Scottish Premier League football grounds in Scotland between the 25th-29th July, a whole 365 miles, meeting football players who share the same concerns as us.</p> <p>Next I am off to cycle my way to Paris on the 25th of August, where the Homeless Wordl Cup is held this year!!</p> <p>Join me in giving homeless adults and children a place to develop their skills and lead others to a better future.</p> <p>Follow my journey on facebook at <cite>www.<strong>facebook</strong>.com/<strong>amanda</strong>.<strong>r</strong>.<strong>quinn</strong></cite></p> <p><strong>Even track my bike, you might get a laugh watching me go through rain and pain on the old bicycle!!<br /></strong></p>
