24 hour football fundraiser · 1 June 2015

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.

As many of you will now know, I am an International Volunteer for the Homeless World Cup Foundation. As well as having the privelage of being part of the delivery team for the annual tournament, I am commited to reaching a fundraising target each year. This money raised goes stright to the Homeless World Cup Foundation in support of its global, year round work, transforming the lives of those expriencing homelessnes by using football as a building block.

For those of you who know me, you may already know a bit about my passion for supporting the Homeless World Cup Foundation and the impact it makes globally. I am now asking you to continue with the fantastic support you have aleady given and make another donation this year. I will also be making as many donations as I can to support a cause I have a great love for.

To those of you who may not know about my involvement, or the crazy 250-mile walk I completed last year with just some camping equipment and a map! To you I ask you to join my other friends and make a contrubution to this brilliant charity.

I will also be doing a few things this year to raise the profile. I am planning to enter the Bognor International Birdman (which basically invlves wearing a silly costume and jumping off the pier, possibly to music) as well as completing my own version of 'Live Below the Line'.

Once again, I thank you for your support and enthusiasm on behalf of the Homeless World Cup Foundation.
