There are lots of ways that your school can get involved with UNICEF and help us protect the rights of children. Take part in Day for Change, hold a fundraising event or make us your charity of the year. Whatever you choose to do we are here to help you every step of the way.

    UNICEF and schools Every child has the right to an education which develops their personality, talents and abilities to the full. Children in the UK have this right - but they can help and learn more about children around the world who are denied their rights by fundraising for UNICEF.

    Emergency fundraising for schools When a child’s life is torn apart, they need help. Fast. When an emergency strikes, UNICEF staff in the area react rapidly. The first aid we deliver usually arrives within 48 hours. Following emergency relief efforts, UNICEF works to give children the long-term support and rehabilitation they need to rebuild their lives
