In an effort to give children from disadvantaged wards in Sunderland a memorable Christmas, Sunderland Music City is launching a series of activities to raise money for a local charity. A unique and impactful initiative, Music Against Child Poverty aims to combat the pressing issue of child poverty through the power of music, with all proceeds going to Sunderland charity Love, Amelia.
Love, Amelia is a children’s charity offering direct support to families experiencing poverty and hardship across Tyne and Wear and County Durham. Since 2019, the organisation has distributed over 13,000 bundles of essential items to those in need.
The campaign’s flagship event Music Against Child Poverty Live will see countless Sunderland music stars take the stage at The Fire Station to raise money for this crucial cause.
Modelled on Live Aid, top local acts will perform classic songs from the trailblazing artists that made Live Aid possible.
Acts already confirmed for the event include Field Music, The Futureheads, Paul Smith of Maximo Park, Liz Corney of The Cornshed Sisters, Frankie and The Heartstrings, Slug, Stockton Road Hit Squad, Nadedja, Chat, Young Musicians Project, and Ruth-Ann Boyle of trip-hop group Olive, whose single You're Not Alone topped the UK Singles Chart in 1996. Former BBC Look North presenter Jeff Brown will also make a special appearance.
