UNICEF UK's photostream  

UNICEF UK is one of 36 UNICEF National Committees based in industrialised countries. UNICEF National Committees raise funds for UNICEF’s worldwide emergency and development work.
In 2006 UNICEF UK raised £43.3 million for UNICEF’s work with children worldwide.

UNICEF UK also advocates for lasting change for children. For example UNICEF UK’s Public Affairs Team works to change government policies and practices that are detrimental to children’s rights in the UK and internationally.

UNICEF is the leading children’s organisation, reaching children in more than 150 less-developed countries around the world. UNICEF work with local communities, organisations and governments to make a lasting difference to children’s lives.

UNICEF believes that every child should have clean water, food, health care, education, and a safe environment in which to grow up. UNICEF upholds the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child and works to hold the international community responsible for their promises to children.

UNICEF is not funded by the UN. Instead, UNICEF relies on voluntary donations to fund its work for children worldwide. UNICEF UK raises funds for these programmes through donations, the sale of cards and gifts, partnerships with companies and special events.

UNICEF UK is a registered charity.
