The three of us (John Finnegan, Steve Barton, & Stephen Hawkins) are doing a series of events this spring & Summer to raise money for the Homeless World Cup. This year the tournament will be in Amsterdam, Holland 12th – 19th September.
The Homeless World cup is a network of 70 international partner organisations that use football to improve the lives of Homeless people throughout the world
The Homeless World Cup uses the power of football to energise homeless people so they can change their own lives.
It supports grass-roots football programmes and social enterprise development via a network of 70 national partners and celebrates its work by organising an annual football tournament that unites teams of homeless people from countries all around the globe.
At the annual Homeless World Cup tournament, the national partners come together to demonstrate how football has the power to change people's lives. The tournament also celebrates the year-round work of the organisation and creates an opportunity for players to represent their country and meet and build relationships with homeless people from other countries. It also lights up the hearts and minds of everyone it touches and changes people's attitudes to homelessness – in all cities where the tournament is held, people who are homeless report improved relations with the public.
Please support us in raising money for this amazing & life transforming charity.
