Man Utd announces fund to help global youth charities

An initial £500 donation to the nominated charity of each Supporters’ Club will be topped up with a further sum of up to £500 to match local fundraising efforts by each club, with the aim of significantly expanding the total amount donated to local charities above the £240,000 pledged by the Foundation.

Clubs have been invited to nominate an established children’s charity in their region to receive the money and the Foundation will provide support for each club to carry out its own additional fundraising locally. Internationally, supporters’ clubs will be encouraged to work with Unicef, Manchester United’s long-standing charitable partner, which is at the forefront of the global response to the pandemic. 

There are 130 Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs in the UK and Ireland, with the remainder spread across 80 countries, including 13 in India.
