Coleen Rooney Says Unicef Support for Ukrainian Families Is a ‘Lifeline’
- On June 8, 2025, Coleen Rooney visited Krakow, Poland, to meet Ukrainian children and families displaced by Putin's war and supported by UNICEF programs.
- Her visit followed Russia's invasion of Ukraine in February 2022, which caused nearly nine million people to flee, many traveling nearly 700 miles to seek refuge in Poland.
- Coleen toured facilities including the Spilno Hub and a UNICEF Educational Rehabilitation School, where she met disabled refugee children like Murat, who showed developmental progress through therapy.
- She said UNICEF support was a 'lifeline' and noted, "You think it is over, it's not," acknowledging the lingering trauma faced by affected families and children.
- The visit highlighted the ongoing need for humanitarian aid, underscored by fundraising events like Soccer Aid for UNICEF 2025, which aims to double donations up to £5 million to assist refugee families.
