War Child Presents Heroes is the ultimate covers album – an unprecedented coming together of music’s greatest ever legends and with their favourite artists of the time to support children whose lives have been torn apart by war. The album concept sees the biggest heroes in music history select a personal favourite track from their own back catalogue and nominate an act from the next generation to create a modern reworking of that classic song War Child Presents Heroes is part of a series of four re-releases by War Child Records making the amazing music artists have donated to the charity available on DSPs and vinyl for the first time.
1 Love, Hope, Help! A Day In The Life and War Child Presents Heroes will be released by War Child Records – the charity’s independent record label. All proceeds from the releases will fund War Child’s life-saving work. When conflict broke out in Ukraine, War Child were quick to respond. Their teams are already on the ground working to understand the impact on children and supporting local volunteers and non- governmental organisations who operate in the border regions to Ukraine to get children vital aid and psychological care – fast. Here, millions of children and families are seeking refuge; arriving with little more than the clothes on their backs, and little access to food, water and shelter.
By purchasing these classic albums fans are supporting War Child to reach children in Ukraine and conflict zones around the world and give them the vital protection, education and psychosocial support they require.
