UNICEF Trip To Sri Lanka

Robbie's very first trip for UNICEF UK in 1998 signalled the start to a very special relationship between the global charity and the man himself, one which continues to this day.

He was introduced to the children's charity by the late and great Ian Dury, lead singer of The Blockheads, who was a UNICEF special representative. Together with the UNICEF team, they travelled to a war-torn Sri Lanka to help with a mass child immunisation campaign for polio and, during a ceasefire, Robbie helped hand out vaccinations in Jaffna, the capital city of the Northern Province of Sri Lanka.
