UNICEF Regional Fundraising Groups are a fantastic way to get involved with UNICEF and make a difference to the lives of children all over the world. It’s also a great way of meeting new people in your area.

There are lots of ways your school can get involved with our work and fundraise for us and we're here to help you every step of the way.

Join your nearest UNICEF Regional Fundraising Group

UNICEF Regional Fundraising Groups are always looking for enthusiastic members to help them kick start their fundraising and raise awareness of our work. 

Find your nearest group on our map (coming soon). 

Set up a new UNICEF Regional Fundraising Group

If there isn't a UNICEF Regional Fundraising Group in your area, you can set up your own with other like-minded and motivated people. You will be joining a national network of groups and will be supported by a dedicated fundraising officer.

All we ask is that you are enthusiastic and passionate about our work to uphold child rights and can volunteer some of your time. Your effort can result in big improvements to children’s lives. 

Fundraising ideas and resources

UNICEF Regional Fundraising Groups get involved in lots of activities including coffee mornings, street collections during emergencies, music concerts, quiz nights and much more.

UNICEF works for children and their rights and we will not stop until every child has the chance of a better life. We are supported entirely by your donations. Find out how the money your Fundraising Group raises helps make a lasting difference to the lives of children around the world.
