Vince slams Premier League’s stance over Shelter’s #NoHomeKit campaign

MOST READ

Forest Green chairman Dale Vince has taken a swipe at the Premier League for failing to support homeless charity Shelter’s #NoHomeKit campaign.

The Premier League blocked its clubs from taking part on the pitch, however, Tottenham Hotspur, Everton, Brighton and Hove Albion, Brentford and Watford decided to throw their weight behind the campaign off the pitch.

I’ve been homeless, I know what it’s like and so when Shelter asked if we’d support this brilliant campaign – you knew that we would,” said Vince.  “Britain is one of the richest nations in the world, but tens of thousands of our people have nowhere to live – that’s wrong.  Changing the shirts we play in for one game is nothing, shame on the Premier League for preventing the top clubs from joining in.” 

Osama Bhutta, Director of Campaigns at Shelter, said: “We’ve been overwhelmed by the support from across the football community for our #NoHomeKit campaign, and we want to say a massive thank you to everyone who gets stuck in to fight homelessness with us this Christmas. 

  “In the space of a single 90-minute football match, 25 households will become homeless – many of them will be families with children. That’s why the work of our frontline advisers is so critical. Our emergency helpline is open 365 days a year, including on Christmas Day, so that no-one has to face homelessness alone. By ditching their home colours this Boxing Day, fans and players alike will be helping us to find safe and secure homes for people whose lives are on the line.”   

 As well as wearing their away shirts on Boxing Day, fans can directly support Shelter’s frontline services donating £5 to the campaign by texting ’HOME’ to 70455, or by visiting www.shelter.org.uk/nohomekit. (Texts cost your standard network rate + £5, and Shelter receives 100% of your donation).
