Seven thousand activity bags have been distributed by the Foundation to children across Greater Manchester, and in partnership with official Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs, to a range of children’s charities across the UK and overseas.
Official Manchester United Supporters’ Clubs in 13 countries from Mexico to Zimbabwe, and Australia to Italy, took part in the campaign, supported by DHL, Manchester United’s global logistics partner.
DHL delivered the gift packs free of charge to children’s charities chosen by fans in each Supporters’ Club’s local area, including care homes, hospitals, hospices and special schools across five continents.
The packs, including a game, book, pencil case, notepad and hat, were designed to lift the spirits of children receiving them at a time when the COVID-19 pandemic is disrupting the lives of young people worldwide.
