Record Store Day UK have announced this year’s fundraising activities to support its 2024 Charity Partner, War Child. The money raised will go towards helping children in conflict all over the world.
Record Store Day UK have announced that they will be raffling off three exclusively signed record players by RSD ambassador Kate Bush, as well as Young Fathers and Blur.
Head of War Child Records Richard Clarke said: “We are delighted to be the charity partner for Record store Day again in 2024. Music is ingrained in our DNA at War Child and every year we are so excited to celebrate the art of the album and the incredible role independent record stores play getting those albums to fans by partnering with the brilliant team at RSD. It is a partnership that we are extremely proud of, and one that continues to make a difference to children whose lives have been torn apart by war.”
