Supporting UNICEF to reach every child

Why we’re working together

M&S and UNICEF UK have been in partnership since 2011, focusing on delivering programmes and interventions with life changing results for children and their families. M&S have contributed to a range of programmes throughout our partnership and is currently supporting UNICEF’s core resources, which is funding that can be deployed flexibly for children wherever and whenever the need is greatest.

With the help of partners like M&S, we can continue to work in some of the world’s toughest places, reaching the furthest from help, the most disadvantaged and the most at risk.

What we’re doing

M&S raises valuable funds for our core resources through the Sparks Rewards Scheme, where Sparks customers can donate to us with every purchase at M&S.

Since 2011, the partnership has raised over £500,000 through Sparks donations, contributing to life-saving programmes for children around the world.

We believe in working to build a better world for every child regardless of who they are, where they live or how much money their family has. We help millions of children get an education by providing items such as textbooks and classroom kits, and we provide vaccines to immunise almost half of the world’s children against preventable disease. We work with families, local communities, organisations, and governments to help every child realise their full potential.
