Have you heard about the Soccer Aid Playground Challenge?
On Friday 8 June, thousands of pupils in playgrounds across the UK will kick, bounce or carry a ball around an obstacle course they’ve designed themselves.
This sporting fun is all in the name of Soccer Aid for Unicef 2018 – a game like no other, where Usain Bolt’s World XI will take on Robbie Williams’ England Team to help save lives of children in danger around the world.
The UK government is currently matching every donation made to this year’s Soccer Aid for Unicef appeal, up to £5 million. Money raised will go towards ending preventable disease in children, saving the lives of new born babies and helping to end child hunger.
If you’re already signed up, I’d be delighted to hear from you, and perhaps schedule a visit to your school on 8 June come and join in with the challenge.
If you are not signed up and you’d like more information about the challenge, you can learn more and register at: http://unicef.uk/DFID-UNICEF-SCHOOLS-CHALLENGE
I look forward to seeing your own Playground Challenge!
