How we work together

Manchester United and Unicef have been working together since 1999 – the longest collaboration between a football club and a global charity. Together, we are helping every child to grow up healthy and strong.

Over the past 20 years, the United for Unicef partnership has helped to raise over £5 million for some of the most vulnerable children in the world. Together we have been able to:

  • Spread HIV awareness to protect children
  • Improve children’s education in Myanmar
  • Provide life-saving food and water in emergencies
  • Protect children from abuse in Vietnam
  • Vaccinate children during a measles outbreak in Syria

United for Unicef has also helped to raise awareness of important Unicef research, including reports on child nutrition and supporting children with disabilities.
