Homelessness charity Centrepoint has confirmed it will no longer work with Sharon Osbourne after she publicly supported a rally linked to far-right activist Tommy Robinson.
Osbourne sparked controversy after commenting “See you at the march” on an Instagram post promoting the upcoming event. The rally, known as the Unite the Kingdom rally, is scheduled to take place in London on May 16.
In response, Centrepoint issued a clear statement distancing itself from the TV personality, confirming there are “no plans to work together in the future.”
A spokesperson for the charity clarified that while Osbourne had previously supported a fundraising campaign, she was never formally appointed as an official ambassador. The collaboration related to an Omaze campaign, where she helped promote a prize draw for a luxury home to raise funds for the organisation.
The spokesperson added: “Political activity like this runs counter to our values and our long history of supporting young people regardless of their background, religion or ethnicity.”
Centrepoint emphasised its commitment to creating opportunities for vulnerable young people, stating that society must ensure individuals can “live without fear” and access education and employment pathways to escape homelessness.
Osbourne, who is married to late Ozzy Osbourne — the iconic frontman of Black Sabbath — has not publicly responded to the backlash.
The rally itself has drawn attention due to its scale, with previous demonstrations reportedly attracting crowds between 110,000 and 150,000 attendees.
The development marks a significant reputational move for Centrepoint, as charities increasingly scrutinise public associations to ensure alignment with their core values.
