DIFFERENCE T O CHILDREN
Unicef is the world’s leading organisation
for children, working in over 190 countries.
With your support, we provide life-saving
food, medicine and clean water to children.
The most vulnerable and disadvantaged
children are our priority.
Ibrahim’s story
Thirteen-year-old Ibrahim* was forced to flee
Syria with his family almost two years ago when
the bombing intensified. Just a week after they
left, their house was completely destroyed.
Ibrahim missed two years of school because
of the conflict, but now has a place at a local
school in Irbid thanks to Unicef. We are working
to make sure that local Jordanian schools have
the resources they need to cope with the large
numbers of Syrian refugee children.
Thanks to your support, Unicef has provided 2.8
million children with educational supplies as well
as Unicef-supported safe spaces where they can
take part in activities such as football and have
access to a social worker.

Go to our approved fundraising website,
Justgiving. Select Unicef UK as your charity.
Follow the instructions to set up your page
Choose your fundraising target (the higher it is,
the more children we can help), page title and
team members if you have them
Tell people why you are fundraising for Unicef
and how their donation can make a difference to
the lives of children.
Once your page is set up, email the link to your
friends, family and colleagues, link to your
Facebook page and tweet about it. It’s a good idea
to ask those likely to sponsor you with a larger
amount first to encourage other sponsors to be
just as generous with their gifts.

Online sponsorship saves time as you
don’t have to collect donations.It also
reduces our costs so we can spend
more money on helping children. A pdf
of our sponsorship form is attached
should you need this.
Offline donations
Please send in any offline donations
with a copy of this form. Cheques
should be made payable to Unicef UK.
Please bank any cash donations and
send in a personal cheque to cover
the amount. Or, if you have an online
fundraising page it may be easier to
donate to your own page to pay in any
offline sponsorship.
