Working in areas such as Iraq, Afghanistan, Uganda and D.R. Congo, War Child is among the few organisations out on the ground supporting the most vulnerable children, those who too often are forgotten about in the aftermath of conflict.
 
From today, WeGotTickets will be hosting a War Child advent calendar on its home page. Every day this will link through to new War Child content, from videos of previous War Child concerts and events through to information about the charity’s history and ongoing work.
 
Furthermore throughout December, WeGotTickets customers will be able to make an additional donation to the charity whenever they purchase a ticket for any event. On Christmas day itself WeGotTickets has pledged to donate 100% of all booking fees to the charity. A similar initiative saw WeGotTickets customers donate nearly £5,000 towards Oxjam in October.
 
Steven Endersby, WeGotTickets project coordinator said, "War Child's history of using music to raise funds and highlight the effects of war on children makes them the perfect charity for us to be working with, and we're delighted to be able to offer our support.
 
"We've worked closely with the charity on a couple of events this year and so it seemed natural to make a donation at Christmas to help them continue the great work they do. As well as our own donation we decided to run a fund raising campaign in the run up to Christmas to give our customers the chance to make their own contribution and to help raise awareness of the fantastic support War Child offers children in war torn areas."
