Centrepoint Cuts Ties With Sharon Osbourne Over Tommy Robinson Support

Homelessness charity Centrepoint has confirmed it will end its association with Sharon Osbourne following her public support for a far-right rally organised by Tommy Robinson. The decision comes after Osbourne commented on an Instagram post about the “Unite the Kingdom” event, stating she would be attending the march.

Centrepoint, which has the Prince of Wales as its patron, stated that Osbourne’s expressed support for the rally does not align with the charity’s values. A spokesperson emphasized that the organisation has a long history of supporting young people regardless of background, religion, or ethnicity, and that political activity such as attending far-right events runs counter to its mission.

The charity clarified that while Osbourne had participated in its Omaze fundraising campaign—which offered a chance to win a £5 million home overlooking Lake Windermere and £250,000 in cash—she was not an official ambassador for Centrepoint. Despite this, the organisation acknowledged her past support and confirmed We find no plans to collaborate with her in the future.

The “Unite the Kingdom” rally, organised by Tommy Robinson (whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon), is scheduled to take place in London on May 16, 2026. A previous demonstration by the same group in September 2025 reportedly attracted between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees.

Centrepoint reiterated its commitment to ensuring young people can live without fear and access the education, work, and housing opportunities needed to overcome homelessness. The charity said maintaining an inclusive and safe environment for all young people remains central to its work, which is incompatible with association with events promoting division or exclusion.
