Town are supporting housing and homelessness charity Shelter's #NoHomeKit campaign over the festive period.

Shelter campaigns to end homelessness with more than 274,000 people, including 126,000 children, currently homeless in England.

In the space of one 90-minute match, 25 households become homeless in England, many of them families with children.

Town were set to wear their away kit in the postponed Gillingham on Boxing Day to show their support for the campaign, while encouraging fans making the trip to Kent or watching on iFollow to wear their favourite Town away shirt.

Instead, the club are encouraging supporters to post a photo online wearing their favourite away kit, tagging in @IpswichTown and using the hashtag #NoHomeKit

Donations to Shelter can be made here.

Radlett_blue added 16:41 - Dec 24 Nonsensical idea. Team change from their first choice kit far too often these days anyway. Support a charity regardless.

el_nino added 17:24 - Dec 24 Another idea could be to stop changing kits every year and instead encourage fans to make a small donation to Shelter rather than encouraging them to buy a new kit every season. Better for the environment too.

Edmundo added 21:57 - Dec 24 274000 is a shocking number. This campaign at least raises awareness. Not all those quarter of a million are on the streets, but many are sofa surfing or sleeping in their cars. And we call ourselves a first world country... I think we can do better with our health and social care. Lots better. Merry Christmas.
