UNICEF works in over 190 countries and territories to save children's lives, to defend their rights, and to help them fulfil their potential, from early childhood through adolescence.
For 17+ years, we have also actively supported the British Army via The Household Cavalry Regiment - the Monarch’s trusted guardians.

We are proud to have this association donating to a worthy cause, helping squadrons and individuals alike.
