Street & Working Children

The money might be used to help some of the 100 million children struggling to survive on city streets world-wide and around 246 million who have to work to survive. These children live dangerous and very difficult lives – living in grinding poverty with no one to care for them or working in extremely dangerous conditions to scrape a living.  Your donation can provide them with the education they desperately need to escape the poverty they face.

Malaria

A child in Africa dies from malaria every 30 seconds. That's over 1 million lives lost a year - even though it is both preventable and treatable. Sport Relief cash will help make that statistic a thing of the past by providing simple but crucial ways to fight the disease; like malaria nets and information on how best to use them and rapid testing kits so those who do become infected can get the help they need quickly.

Local community work in the UK

With rising levels of unemployment and some families finding it tougher than ever to make ends meet, Sport Relief cash is hard at work in communities right across the UK. Half the money raised through Sport Relief supports vulnerable people at home in the UK. Whether they’re children with learning disabilities who feel excluded from local activities, families living in areas with very few opportunities to escape the poverty they face or isolated older people living incredibly lonely lives – your cash can help them all to overcome the major problems in their lives.
