Paddington and UNICEF

In 2017, UNICEF and Vivendi announced a unique partnership with the iconic bear, Paddington, to help promote children’s rights around the world. Since then, this partnership raised £7.1 million and brought Paddington’s learnings from the rest of the world to the comfort of a lot of children’s homes.

As well as a range of exciting products, Paddington is also the face of our OutRight campaign which each year, in time for World Children’s Day, empowers children and young people in the UK to realise their own rights, and to speak out in support of the rights of all children.

Paddington’s Postcards

Discover wonderful people and places with Paddington

Paddington has been learning all about the lives of amazing children around the world. He cannot wait to tell children in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand all about what he has learned. Sign up for a monthly gift of £8 and as a thank you, we will send your child a personalised postcard (and more!) from Paddington every month. With each pack, they will explore a different country with Paddington and learn about the life of a child who lives there.

Perfect for children aged 6-10, Paddington’s Postcards is a wonderful way to teach your little adventurer about how other children and families live around the world. Click here to find out more and sign up.
