"The Big issue Cymru wholeheartedly supports the activity of Street Football Wales. They not only work with homeless people, but more importantly share the same objective of the Big Issue in that people need to take positive action themselves to move forward from their situation.

Fundraising Champion - Chris Dennis, GKR Maintenance & Building
Chris Dennis, Director of GKR Maintenance and Building first
became involved with fundraising for SFW when he saw an article on the Welsh
Dragons on BBC's Sport Wales highlighting the plight the team faced with lack
of funding to attend the Homeless World Cup in Milan.
"I had a life changing experience a couple of weeks before seeing the article on the TV and was looking for a good cause to support whilst trying to make sense of a few things personally. It seemed more than coincidental that the article reached me on a personal level and ever since, I have been raising money in a number of ways and try and support and promote the scheme as much as I can." I strongly believe in this worthwhile cause and have been fortunate enough to meet some of the players that went to the Homeless World Cup in Milan. I saw first-hand the difference it made to make to their lives. I’ve also met some of the people who attend the league games and found it truly moving too see the gratitude and hope in their eyes when they realise that people in society really do care." |
