Charity Rejects Sharon Osbourne After “Unite the Kingdom” Rally Comment

Homelessness charity Centrepoint has said it will not work with Sharon Osbourne in the future after she publicly backed a rally linked to far-right activist Tommy Robinson.

The issue arose when Osbourne commented “See you at the march” on an Instagram post promoting the “Unite the Kingdom” rally. The event, organised by Robinson, whose real name is Stephen Yaxley-Lennon, is due to take place in London on May 16, 2026.

In response, Centrepoint moved to distance itself from the television personality. The charity said that although Osbourne had recently been described as an “ambassador” during a fundraising campaign, she did not hold an official or ongoing role with the organisation.

A spokesperson said her public support for the rally conflicted with the charity’s values. Centrepoint works with homeless young people from a wide range of backgrounds, and the spokesperson said political activity of this kind “runs counter to our values.”

The charity also confirmed it has “no plans to work together in the future” with Osbourne.

The situation comes during a period of change for Osbourne, following the death of her husband, musician Ozzy Osbourne, in July 2025. In recent months, she has become more outspoken on political issues in the UK. Earlier in 2026, there were reports she had been approached about standing as a Conservative candidate in local elections in Birmingham.

The upcoming “Unite the Kingdom” rally has already attracted criticism and is expected to draw large crowds. The Metropolitan Police are facing scrutiny over how the event will be handled, particularly in comparison with their response to other demonstrations taking place in London.

Centrepoint has not indicated any further action beyond ending future collaboration.
