About Unicef

Unicef is the world’s leading organisation for children. They work with families, local communities, partners and government in more than 190 countries to help every child realise their full potential. In everything they do, the most disadvantaged children and the countries in greatest need have priority.

Unicef UK raises donations for Unicef’s emergency and development work around the world and advocates for lasting change for children worldwide. This includes working to change government policies and practices that restrict child rights in the UK and internationally.

They are a UK registered charity, supported entirely by voluntary donations. They do not receive any money from the UN.
