The Homeless World Cup is a yearly flagship event for the homeless charity sector in which they bring teams from around the world to compete in a friendly competition! The Homeless world Cup uses football as a trigger to inspire and energize people who are homeless to change their own lives. By this approach the Home less World Cup creates better opportunities for people who are currently homeless and excluded and reduces homelessness on a global level.

Sheffield is the birthplace of the professional game and host to the two oldest clubs in the globe, Sheffield Fc and Hallam. It’s also home two football clubs with an amazing fan base and legacies in Sheffield United and Wednesday. Sheffield is so football mad that a recent study found that unitedites think about their club more than any other fans in the world! Sheffield is also home to the largest base of homeless charities in the UK. It’s this combination which will make Sheffield a great host for the Homeless World Cup.

Oliver Gwynne and his group are currently putting together the bid for the 2016 Cup & are looking for people to help. It could be through sponsorship, providing us with your services or goods, or just lending us your support in whatever way possible.

At the moment they are only putting together the bid, and are looking for Letters of intent that should they win the bid, you'll commit to supporting the event. They've already got the local councils, football teams and a few sponsors on side so this is a great time to get involved. They would know if they are the winners in October!

You can just drop an email and they'll take it from there, they are looking to have a full formal bid in place soon. If you're looking to get your brand associated with an international good cause event, then this could be the perfect opportunity for you!
