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.

Ten brave souls will be entering a 7-a-side fundraising tournament for the Homeless World Cup in Edinburgh. After becoming aware of the sterling work that the Homeless World Cup and the Homeless FAs around the world do around the globe we're keen to help in any way we can. If we do a little bit, hopefully it can lead to others doing a lot. Details of the event are available here: http://www.edinburgh2014.org.uk/

Street Soccer USA put together this: http://vimeo.com/91032319 to show how much of a difference the Homeless World Cup and football can make to people's lives.

Thanks.
