UK Unicef Ambassador Robbie Williams explains, “I’ve been a Unicef UK Ambassador for 17 years, and have seen first-hand just how vital the work made possible through projects like Blue Vinyl really is. On trips to Haiti and South Africa to see Unicef’s work I’ve met children living in the most horrendous circumstances, who have experienced things no child should ever have to. I couldn’t be more proud to support Unicef Blue Vinyl with my album, Take The Crown, and know that the money raised through this special edition really will help fund life-saving work for children around the world.”

Unicef will be releasing the 16 albums on 13 November. All of the proceeds from Unicef Blue Vinyl will go to Unicef UK’s Children’s Emergency Fund. Find out more on the prize draw and auction.
