Margate FC Trust homeless project

We will offer football sessions to the local homeless community on our 3G pitch. We will also provide hot meals, clothes washing facilities, clothes bank and support via partner organisations.

This project has reached its fundraising target. It has also activated Continuous Fundraising, which means you can still donate and support the project.

The idea

Our facilities are often unused during the week so we want to open them up to the local homeless community. They will be able to play sport, have access to hot showers and hot food, use the washing facilities at the club and access partner organizations and their professional staff members.
We will also operate a clothes bank when we can, as well as offering free tickets for Margate and Canterbury FC home league games.

What we'll deliver

  • We will run 1 drop in session per week for at least 1 year
  • We will help at least 50 homeless people across Thanet
