West Midlands football clubs supporting homelessness campaign
It's for #NoHomeKit day
Last updated 24th Dec 2021
Football fans across the West Midlands are being asked to wear their clubs away shirt today, in aid of a homelessness campaign.
Shelter's 'No Home Kit' campaign will see football clubs don their away or third kits in support of the charity.
Despite many Boxing Day fixtures being postponed due to covid outbreaks, supporters are still being urged to join in.
Coventry City are among those who've committed to taking part - despite their game being called off.
Since the start of the pandemic, more than 180,000 households have been made homeless since March 2020.
Osama Bhutta, Director of Campaigns at Shelter, said:
“We believe ‘home’ means everything. We want to use the positive power of football this Christmas, and our shared connection to ‘home’ to raise awareness of homelessness and what we can all do to fight it.
"We want as many teams, players and fans as possible to join #NoHomeKit and work with us to help those experiencing the harsh realities of homelessness this winter.
"Everyone involved in #NoHomeKit can do something special by bringing the entire football community together to fight the housing emergency.”
