Ambassadors
and High Profile Supporters

UNICEF UK is privileged to have a long history of support from its High Profile Supporters and Ambassadors, starting with Danny Kaye in 1954 and including such influential names as Audrey Hepburn and Peter Ustinov.

Through the years, we have had many Ambassadors and High Profile Supporters who have played a critical role in raising awareness and helping to protect children’s rights around the world. We thank all our UNICEF UK Ambassador Alumni who have supported our work for children in the past.

We work with three types of active supporters:

UNICEF Goodwill Ambassadors support UNICEFโ€™s work globally and are appointed by UNICEF Headquarters in New York.

UNICEF UK Ambassadors promote UNICEFโ€™s work within the UK, and often globally. They have shown a commitment to UNICEF through continued and consistent support over a number of years.

UNICEF UK High Profile Supporters support our work within the UK, and sometimes globally. All of them have been appointed because they have demonstrated a commitment to UNICEF UKโ€™s mission.
