David and Victoria Beckham have reportedly donated £1million to UNICEF as they kicked off their emergency appeal to provide aid for the people of Ukraine.
Taking to his Instagram account to announce the new initiative via his 7 Fund for Unicef on International Women’s Day, retired footballing icon David shared a sombre video in which he addressed the camera directly and spoke of feeling ‘helpless’ in the face of the unfolding ‘scenes of such despair’ in the country.
The source continued: ‘David has been a Goodwill Ambassador for 17 years and raises millions a year to support UNICEF and their work for children around the world. David, 46, added in his caption: ‘Mothers forced to flee with their children. Families torn apart. Children taken from their beds to become refugees overnight. As the conflict in #Ukraine enters its second week, the needs of families are escalating and 7.5m children are now at risk.
