A Global Partnership with Chelsea Football Club
A GLOBAL PARTNERSHIP
TRANSFORMING CHILDREN'S LIVES WITH CHELSEA FOOTBALL CLUB
Chelsea Football Club and Plan International UK have worked together since 2015, to help transform the lives of children through the power of football. Through our global charity partnership, we’re working to advance children’s rights and equality for girls around the world.
Football for change
Every child deserves a fair start in life. But not every child is born with the same opportunities. To help level the playing field, we’re calling on Chelsea fans to support Football for Change by sponsoring a child.
When you become a sponsor, you’ll support a child’s entire community – and help to make sure they grow up in a safe environment where they can play, learn and thrive. You’ll also see the difference you’re making though the letters and drawings your sponsored child sends to you.
Visiting Azraq Refugee Camp
Supporting children in Azraq refugee camp
Chelsea and Plan International are supporting children and young people living in the Azraq refugee camp, home to more than 35,000 Syrian refugees – 60% of whom are children – on the Jordan Syria border.
Chelsea ambassador Katie Chapman led a team of Chelsea Foundation coaches running training sessions with young people living in the camp in October 2018, while chairman Bruce Buck returned in April 2019 to meet Plan International staff, and families who fled the conflict and are living in the camp.
