Sir Paul McCartney gives War Child a peace sign
War Child | 26th June 2008
Sir Paul McCartney is possibly the definition of a national treasure. It’s a surprise his photo isn’t next to the definition of ‘legend’ when you flick through the dictionary. So you can imagine we wanted to shout about it when he lent us his support recently.
Finding time after storming an appreciative crowd at hometown gigs in Liverpool, Sir Paul remarked: “I have been supporting War Child since 1995. Their work with children in war zones saves lives and their work with those who take decisions that help them to do something about it saves even more lives”.
Sir Paul has been an active supporter of our work for many years – from contributing alongside Noel Gallagher and Paul Weller on a cover of the Beatles’ ‘Come Together’ on the first Help album to donating artwork for auction. We hope to work with him again in the future!
