Homelessness charity Centrepoint has announced it will no longer work with Sharon Osbourne<\/a>, following her public endorsement of a rally organised by right-wing activist Tommy Robinson<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The charity stated it has \u201cno plans to work together in the future\u201d after the television personality expressed support for the upcoming event.<\/p>\n

The former X Factor judge publicly signalled her support for the event, using her official Instagram account to leave a comment stating: \u201cSee you at the march.\u201d This was in response to a post on the social media platform detailing the \u201cUnite the Kingdom\u201d rally, which is planned for next month.<\/p>\n

A spokesperson for Centrepoint clarified the charity’s stance, saying: \u201cPolitical activity like this runs counter to our values and our long history of supporting young people regardless of their background, religion or ethnicity.\u201d<\/p>\n

They added: \u201cIf we want young people to thrive in this country, then we need to ensure our society continues to allow them to live without fear and to access the opportunities they need to start education or work and leave homelessness behind.\u201d<\/p>\n

Osbourne had previously supported Centrepoint through its Omaze campaign, which aimed to raise funds by offering a chance to win a luxury house. While she was referred to as an ambassador in that context, the charity confirmed she was \u201cnot an official ambassador for Centrepoint\u201d.<\/p>\n

The \u201cUnite the Kingdom\u201d rally, organised by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is set to take place in London on May 16.<\/p>\n

A previous protest held by the group in September reportedly drew between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, a counter-protest, dubbed March Against Fascism, organised by Stand Up To Racism, also took place in the capital on the same day.<\/p>\n

Counter-protesters in Russell Square milled around with placards that said \u201cRefugees welcome\u201d and \u201cOppose Tommy Robinson\u201d, chanting \u201csay it loud, say it clear, refugees are welcome here\u201d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Homelessness charity Centrepoint has announced it will no longer work with Sharon Osbourne, following her public endorsement of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615435,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[64,63,447,298765,10881,134,7694,298764,15580,53567],"class_list":{"0":"post-615434","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-celebrities","8":"tag-au","9":"tag-australia","10":"tag-celebrities","11":"tag-centrepoint","12":"tag-charity","13":"tag-entertainment","14":"tag-homelessness","15":"tag-rally-organised","16":"tag-sharon-osbourne","17":"tag-tommy-robinson"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615434","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615434"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615434\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615435"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615434"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615434"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615434"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
