A giant step closer to the fifth @oscar_foundation U.K. Tour 2025! 🌍✈️ 🇬🇧 The team visited the U.K. Visa office for biometrics, with many proud parents by their side 💖 it’s lovely to see families cheering on their kids. Fingers crossed visa are issued quickly 🤞

A few months ago, none of these 14 young OSCAR stars even had a passport. Today, they’re well on their way to a life-changing adventure made possible by @bradfield_college @hallgroveschool @eton.college @battisboroughhouse. Respect to the OSCAR staff who work tirelessly behind the scenes to make the magic possible and a special shoutout to @kumar.rathod155 & @rathodsunita02, superheroes who never give up on the mountains of paperwork and form filling! 💪🏻🙏

Day 7: Edinburgh Highlights - History, Hiking & Hugging 🏰🥾🤗

We kicked off the day at the iconic @edinburghcastle stepping back in time to explore Scottish history, admire the Crown Jewels and take a few pics 👑📸

Next, we strolled down the historic #RoyalMile before setting off on a group hike up to #ArthursSeat. Everyone climbed at their own pace, cheering & supporting each other as one united team. 💪💚

So grateful to have @sam_england7, @rubysowerbutts & @juliansowerbutts59 with us for this unforgettable day. In the evening, we reflected on everything we’d seen and felt, sharing learnings and personal stories.

The perfect end was sharing a pizza with our amazing organisers @alexandramoreira385 & @ionawxllace. 🍕❤️

DAY 6 Highlights ✨
We kicked off the day at @nationalmuseumsscotland with an amazing guided tour by the incredible David @thecreeture, packed with fun facts & we got to play with swords and shields! 🛡️🗡️🤺

The museum also treated us to a delicious lunch 🙏 and David even promised to visit us in Mumbai soon! 🇮🇳

Next up: swimming! For many, it was their first time in a pool and we jumped straight into a competitive game of water polo! 🤽🤽‍♀️

Evening vibes were pure joy @themeadowsfestival, dancing in the rain to live music and spinning around on the bumper cars! 🎶🎡

We wrapped up the day with a dance session in our hotel led by Shivam - the king of the dance!🕺🔥 ➡️THANK YOU @sachin.dhaliwal03 & @sam_england7 Sam for joining us & making our day so special.

Day 5 - SCIENCE, DANCE & RESEARCH🔬💃🧠

We kicked off the morning at @edinuni_irr with the brilliant Dr Beth Mills, followed by mind-blowing sessions on robotics in healthcare and how lasers are advancing early brain diagnosis. Thank you Lauren Hockenhull, Natalie Jones @natkjones and Mohsen Khadem for teaching our YLs. 🤖🧬🧠

After lunch, the incredible @fiddlebrain and his amazing team at @science_ceilidh had us learning how to use dance to teach science. Our Young Leaders LOVED it! 💃🕺

@oscar_foundation is officially planning its first ceilidh …..watch this space! 👀💫

Massive thanks to the whole @edinuni_irr team, you are all ABSOLUTELY AMAZING! 👏🔥

Child Sponsorship enables the OSCAR Foundation to make a significant impact in low income communities. Sponsoring a child ensures underprivileged boys and girls access the education they deserve. An educated child avoids early marriage, youth pregnancy and addiction and is mobilised to make changes in their communities. OSCAR uses football to engage youth and enrol them in education, football and life skills programmes. Child Sponsorship is the key to development and progress for future generations.
