Fundraising for Homeless World Cup

Story

Hello!

As a tribute to my Father and as a big fan of the Homeless Word Cup -the most successful organisation to beat homelessness through football - I have decided to take on the Brighton Marathon this year.

I am raising money to get players to the event in Mexico City in 2012 and will also be supporting Porchlight, which is another great organisation to beat homelessness.

Please support me with your donations. I have already started training for what is going to be the greatest challenge of my life!

Thank you!

Monika

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.
