Fundraise at university

Fundraising for UNICEF at university through a UNICEF On Campus Society is fun and rewarding. You'll be making a difference to the lives of children all over the world. It's also a great way to meet new people, enhance your CV and encourage team building.

Join a UNICEF On Campus Society

Search the UNICEF On Campus Google Map to see if your university has a UNICEF On Campus society, then email the society president directly using the contact details given. If there isn’t a society at your university you can set up your own.

Set up a UNICEF On Campus Society

If fundraising feels like a daunting task, don't worry. We will provide you with support, information and materials to help you. You'll receive regular communications about UNICEF's work and current campaigns and get support from your On Campus Regional Coordinator, and from experienced UNICEF fundraisers and campaigners. You can also attend events and training days.

1. Register your society with your Student Union.
2. Recruit fellow enthusiastic and like-minded volunteers to join your society. Advertise via Facebook, Twitter or ask for a slot on your university radio station calling for new members.
3. Fill out a Contact Sheet and Memorandum of Understanding at the start of each academic year to register the society for the next year. Send to UNICEF On Campus, 30a Great Sutton Street, London, EC1V 0DU.
