Clare Sanders-Wright, Live Music Lead at War Child, says: “We would like to say a huge thank you to all our partners, the artists, and everyone who bought a ticket to BRITs Week 2024. War Child’s work is needed now more than ever, and the money raised will significantly impact the lives of thousands of children. Every day, our local teams are in communities and refugee camps creating safe spaces for children to play, learn, and access psychological support. We also respond rapidly to emergency crises, delivering immediate and critical care impartially to those who need us most, when they need us most. Thank you once again for helping us to continue our vital work.”
