Matt's Homeless World Cup Volunteering

Fundraising for Homeless World Cup

Story

This July I am volunteering as a Team Guide at the Homeless World Cup in Glasgow's George Square. I will be the point of contact in the city for one of the 64 teams who will be competing.

See the video linked below for more information on the work of the Homeless World Cup. They work with national partners in 73 countries around the world, who use street football to give people self esteem and help them get their lives back on track.

I'm really excited that this year's tournament will be in Glasgow, and even more excited to be playing a part in it, but I'm giving up a lot of time and it would make it just that bit more worth it if I could raise some money for this great organisation at the same time! All funds raised will go to the Homeless World Cup Foundation to help them in the great work they do to help people around the world, and to help them keep the event running every year.

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.
