Firewoodisland Charity Gig

STEP UK are excited to be hosting as charity concert with the locally aclaimed band Firewoodisland, all in aid of Syrian refugee children living in the Kurdistan region of Iraq. The Arbat Refugee Camp is home to over 10,000 Syrian refugees, with over 5,000 of them being children, and many of these never seeing their homeland of Syria. There is much need in the camp, and STEP provides education, mental health care, special needs support, excursions for these vulnerable children. Their two porter cabins provide the only space in the whole camp for children aged 3-5 to be able to play safely, and they have one of the only green spaces in the whole camp.

Fundraising is a continuous uphill battle for any charity, and STEP is incredibly grateful to Firewoodisland who have offered their time and support for a charity concert where all proceeds will go to support the children in the Arbat Refugee Camp. STEP are also grateful to Woodlands Chruch who have kindly donated use of their venue to the cause.

Firewoodisland are a local band who have had their music featured in Grey's Anatomy, Netflix's Shadow Hunters, Global's Nurses, and a major Airbnb advert. They have had regular airplay on BBC radio stations across the UK, and many stations in America and around Europe and Australia. Wonderland Magazine describes their music as “songs that immediately evoke a full-body chill in the first few opening bars.”

So come along on Wednesday September 18th for an evening of Mountain Pop where your listening ears will be changing the lives of young refugees who struggle for hope and a bright future. A short presentation will be given about the work of the charity, before Firewoodisland grace your ears with their music for an hour of music.
