Premier League slammed by 'disappointed' charity Shelter for rejecting homeless awareness move

Homeless charity Shelter has expressed its disappointment in the Premier League who refused home clubs to wear away kits next month in a bid to raise awareness and funds for those living on the streets.

As Sportsmail exclusively revealed this week, the charity want home teams to play in their away kits on December 26 and 27 in support of the cause, with several clubs approaching the Premier League this week to gain permission to take part in the project.

But Premier League bosses said the proposal breached rules and added that while clubs could support the charity, they would not be allowed to change their kits.
