A world of second chances

Many children today find themselves in desperate and hopeless situations. Through no fault of their own they often face impossible circumstances.

What we do

We strive to give these children a second chance by helping them recognise and appreciate their own self worth. Through activities such as soccer teams, children's activity teams, work and specialist teams, educational support and sponsorship, we build self respect and equip children with foundational life skills. All our activities focus both directly and indirectly around the lives of children, enhancing their physical, emotional and spiritual needs to open up a future a world away from their past.

History

Teams4U is a charity set up by the founder of Operation Christmas Child, Dave Cooke    . In 1990 Dave was moved by the needs of the people of Romania and felt helpless to do anything on his own. Dave shared his feelings with others and found that he was not alone. He was able to put a team together and took aid to the orphanages of Romania. Dave and many of that first team went on to set up Operation Christmas Child. Dave went on to set up the charity Teams4U, to enable many others to have the opportunity and experience of working with and supporting vulnerable children and their families.

Working With Partners

We work alongside partner organisations throughout the world who are seeking to relieve distress. Teams4U develops teaching and learning opportunities with partners and their beneficiaries, using a unique mix of volunteers and professionals to deliver programmes and implement projects. We have a commitment to build the capacity of those we work with to enhance the delivery and the wider development of the community in which they operate, both now and in the future.
