Every 90 minutes 25 households are made homeless in England

Home stadium. Home colours. Home game. The football community knows the importance of home. But this year, thousands of people will be spending Christmas; in dingy hostels, on friends’ sofas, or even sleeping in freezing cars. This is something we can’t ignore.

This Christmas, we're making a stand. Clubs and fans up and down the football pyramid are taking part in #NoHomeKit; swapping their home colours for an away or third kit to raise money and make sure everyone in the UK has access to a safe, secure and affordable place to call home.

How your kit change fights for home

We’re fighting for a future where everyone has the right to a safe home.

Last year we advised 17,281 households through our emergency helpline. But many more people don’t know where to turn for help. People living in unsafe or unfit housing. People with no permanent place to call home.

By joining the campaign you’ll be helping raise awareness of the housing emergency and raising vital funds to help us fight it.
