Ballet dancer and Artistic Director of English National Ballet Tamara Rojo CBE is among the high-profile people supporting the cause. One of the prizes is a chance for the winner and up to three friends to visit English National Ballet’s studios and see a pre-premiere rehearsal of Raymonda.

It also sees Rojo make her highly anticipated debut in directing and choreographing.

Tamara Rojo said: “I’m truly excited to be able to offer this once in a lifetime behind-the-scenes access to the UK public and support the worthy work that War Child does to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children in war. Just one child caught up in conflict is one child too many, and we have a real opportunity this winter to make a difference to ensure a safe future for every child living through war.”
Rob Williams, CEO of War Child UK, said: “Today we are seeing some of the worst humanitarian crises of our generation unfold. Right now, in Afghanistan thousands of children have fled their homes in search of safety - they urgently need food, hygiene kits and psychological first aid. In Yemen, more than 2 million children are facing malnutrition, 400,000 of which are at risk of starving to death. Every purchase on Shop for Good will go towards ensuring that we can be there for the children who need us most, when they need us most. We will never give up on children living through conflict.”

Notes to the Editor:
About War Child UK
War Child UK is the only specialist charity for children affected by conflict. For more than two decades they’ve been driven by a single goal – for no child’s life to be torn apart by war. They aim to reach children as early as possible when conflict breaks out and stay to support them through their recovery – keeping them safe, helping them learn and cope with their experiences, and equipping them with skills for the future. They understand children’s needs, respect their rights, and put them at the centre of the solution and campaign for changes to policies and practices to support children in conflict, working with children and young people themselves to demand their rights. Together with their partners they deliver vital, life-saving work in 15 countries across Africa, Asia and the Middle East, and Latin America. In 2019 alone, they reached over 100,000 children.
