Story

The OSCAR UK Girls & Boys Tour 2023 provides a once in a lifetime opportunity for children living in the most marginalised communities in India. The two-week tour creates a platform for youth from both India and the UK to be part of a global community, to learn from and befriend their peers irrespective of nationality, religion, gender, caste or class. Pupils from the UK host schools engage with disadvantaged OSCAR kids and collaborate in educational and cultural workshops, football training and share in lifes challenges and successes.

In October 2023 OSCAR will be sending girls and boys together, reinforcing our #genderequality ethos. In poor communities in India the Covid pandemic disproportionately affected girls and we're confident the opportunity the tour provides will inspire more girls to engage with OSCAR. The tour will motivate girls to stay in education and say NO to an early marriage and youth pregnancy. The 18 OSCAR tourists will return to their communities as role models, empowered with leadership skills and life experience which they use to mentor 30 children twice a week. Over 4,000 OSCAR children are direct beneficiaries of the funds raised by the amazing UK schools. We are delighted to announce the headliners are, Bradfield College, Eton College, Ashfold Prep School, Hall Grove School, Beaudesert Park School and Heathfield, Ascot with further support from Sandroyd School & Hereward House. Watch this space for more host schools to be announced shortly.
