Thanks for taking the time to visit the Official Street Soccer (London) JustGiving page.

Almost 1 in 10 people in England say they have been homeless at some point. Younger adults (16-24 year olds) are at even more risk of homelessness. The situation is getting worse, particularly for young people.

Street Soccer (London) is part of a social venture, The Street Soccer Foundation, and uses the power of football to help support and develop young people currently experiencing homelessness.  Supported by the PFA and the England Street FA, Street Soccer (London) is a programme being delivered by our official partners, West Ham United Football Club and the West Ham United Foundation.

The programme is creating pathways and changing lives for young people in the local communities around the Club in East London, Essex and Kent.  This is our official fundraising page for Street Soccer (London) and with your kind help we can ensure the sustainability of our programme being delivered by West Ham United to help support young people all year-round.

Put simply, together we are Changing Lives through Football.

We have not set a fundraising target as we'd like to raise as much money as we can throughout the year to expand the programme of support as fully as possible. Ultimately we'd like to help put an end to homelessness one day. You can find out more about The Street Soccer Foundation by visiting the official website: www.streetsoccerfoundation.org.uk and you can also follow Street Soccer on Twitter @StreetSoccerLtd to keep up to date with our programme delivery.

Thanks very much for anything you can do. And please spread the word for our on-going campaign.
