LoginPage 5: Charities supported
Since 1985 Coca-Cola has been one of the principal sponsors of Special Olympics UK. This organisation is based on the premise that individuals with learning difficulties are helped best by reintegrating them into society - and that nothing should prevent them from practising competitive sports. It has grown in strength from year to year.
For many years, Coca-Cola has sponsored an annual event to raise funds for both Variety Club - 'The Greatest Children's Charity in the World' - and the Outward Bound Trust, which has encouraged many thousands of people, often the young and underprivileged, to discover themselves and realise their true potential.
The Coca-Cola Youth Foundation was established at the end of 1995, with the aim of helping young people to reach their full potential through physical, artistic, cultural or educational pursuits. Those who have benefited to date include The Duke of Edinburgh's Awards, the National Playing Fields Association, the Juvenile Diabetes Foundation and YouthNet UK.
