What does the money raised from Soccer Aid go towards?

All public donations to Soccer Aid will go towards Unicef’s work protecting children in the UK and globally.

An incredible £24million has already been raised through the event over the last 10 years.

The government announced on April 6, 2018 that it will match every donation made to Soccer Aid for Unicef – doubling the total sum raised.

The money will go towards ending preventable disease in children, saving the lives of newborn babies and helping to end child hunger around the world

So far it has provided life-saving food, vaccines, clean water and protection from violence to millions of children around the world.
