We are proud to celebrate our colleague, and former client, Shane who was recognised as Fulham FC Foundation’s Community Champion at Saturday’s Fulham v Arsenal match.

As part of this special recognition, Shane had the opportunity to present the match ball before kick-off – a moment watched by thousands of fans at Craven Cottage. The honour highlights Shane’s inspiring journey and his commitment to rebuilding his life with support from SPEAR.

Fulham FC Foundation has shared Shane’s story as part of their feature A New Chapter for Shane: Why the Stadium Sleepout Matters, exploring how events like the Stadium Sleepout help raise vital awareness and funds to tackle homelessness.

On Friday 14 November, SPEAR supporters and Fulham fans will come together for the Stadium Sleepout at Craven Cottage – hearing inspiring stories like Shane’s, spending a night in the stands and raising funds for SPEAR and the Fulham FC Foundation.

A huge thank you to the Fulham FC Foundation for shining a light on Shane’s achievements and for their continued support through the Stadium Sleepout.
