Entrepreneurial Health Initiatives With the invaluable support of the Virgin Group and numerous like-minded partners, we are helping some amazing entrepreneurial organisations and pioneers. They create and manage initiatives that tackle unacceptable health issues in rural Africa – all with an entrepreneurial twist. As well as improving the health of their communities, they create employment and act as a true inspiration to others. When people and businesses work together towards a common good some quite remarkable things do happen. We see it all the time: you will too if you “unite” with us. Check out...

Youth The Virgin family is working with young people all over the world to create opportunities for the next generation. We’ve been incredibly inspired by their enthusiasm and commitment to making the world a better place – and know you will be too! We also think it is unacceptable that young people are having to sleep on the streets – so we’re working with some great partners to tackle youth homelessness in all corners of the world. Youth homelessness is a huge global problem. The numbers are staggering: at this moment something like 32,000 young Australians 65,000 young Canadians and over two million young people in the US don’t have a place to call home... Check out...

Today Virgin Unite is proud to help support fundraising efforts for a vast number of projects that are close to the heart of the hundreds of Virgin businesses around the world. Check out...
