UNICEF

Unicef UK was founded in 1946, and was created by the United Nations to advocate and stand up for children rights in more than 150 countries around the world. The charity has a broad spectrum of areas that it covers including protecting children from violence, abuse, exploitation, addressing development problems including nutrition, sanitation and healthcare, and supporting education programmes to encourage good and equal education for girls and boys.

St Andrews Unicef on Campus is dedicated to fundraising for Unicef UK and advocating for the rights of children. We are one of the most active and social charitable societies, with a clear objective for students with a common charitable interest to come together.

There might be uncertainty surrounding the next academic year; however, we are certain that the effects of Covid on children, the Black Lives Matter Movement, and the humanitarian crisis in Yemen will bring students in St Andrews closer together, and increase their desire to learn more about global issues. In light of this, we have an exciting year planned, and we are confident it will create an inclusive and welcoming society in St Andrews.
