Homelessness is on the increase in our society and can lead to devastating consequences for individuals and their families. We actively support several international organisations and charities that provide shelter and food to homeless people. We do this through regular donations and fund-raising activities.

GOAL 50

Founded initially in 2001 in South Africa to rescue street children through the universal language of football, this charity has now grown into a “life support” operation that impacts on over 5000 people. Based in the dangerous crime-ridden area north of Cape Town, the Goal 50 vision is to create and build a team that works to develop a community that respects individuals and offers support and care. They are currently seeking financial support to create a much-needed Day Care Centre as well as expand their current food and shelter provision.
