Story

To celebrate Soccer Aid, were asking YOU to take on The Great Big Soccer Aid Challenge this September. There are no rules - simply fundraise whatever you can, in whatever way you like.

Coronavirus has closed schools, stopped children getting vital vaccines, and is making lives in disaster zones tougher than ever. But together, we can help vulnerable children and families stay safe so that they can grow up happy, healthy, and able to play.

Thanks to the UK government and Gavi, the Vaccine Alliance, for tripling donations, up to £3 million.

Get started in three simple steps:

1. Choose your challenge.

2. Set up your JustGiving page, and ask friends & family to sponsor you.

3. Take on your challenge!

Don't forget to celebrate your success by sharing your photos and videos using #SoccerAidChallenge, and tag Unicef UK! And be sure to follow government guidelines on how to stay safe.

Your fundraising will go to support Unicef's work around the world.

Whatever you raise for The Great Big Soccer Aid Challenge, you can help support an entire generation affected by coronavirus. We work with governments worldwide and with the World Health Organization to ease the pain of this pandemic.
