It will come as no surprise that when I was a child, I was obsessed with sports. I spent nearly every day outside, playing all kinds of ball sports. This year, I’ve been supporting UNICEF for a decade and so I’ve created this limited-edition t-shirt to celebrate childhood, in collaboration with UNICEF UK. This design represents those early memories and passion that shaped my life and got me into tennis in the first place. Help UNICEF protect children all over the world by grabbing one of these over at EVERPRESS. UNICEF will receive 100% of profit. Your support would mean the world: https://lnkd.in/e9rz62s9 #WorldChildrensDay

UNICEF UK is pleased to have collaborated with ITV News and UNICEF Zambia on this impactful report highlighting the emergency situation for children in Zambia due to #climatechange. The ongoing drought in the country is intensifying food insecurity, leaving families struggling with severe food shortages and malnutrition. This piece highlights UNICEF's crucial work to strengthen #nutrition and #health services, supporting families in adapting to the harsh realities of climate change. This includes UNICEF-supported cooking lessons for mothers, where they learn to prepare nutritious meals with local, drought-resistant ingredients. 🍲🍠 As #COP29 approaches, let this serve as a powerful reminder: climate change isn't a future threat, it's a global emergency affecting the world's 2.4 million children today. https://lnkd.in/egtJWeCH https://lnkd.in/ezj_T7Rg
