Creative Industries

We work at the heart of the creative Industries spanning art, film, theatre, TV, literature and fashion to create our ever-growing programme of curated events, exhibitions, auctions and talks that raise money to support children affected by conflict. 

Our work is deeply rooted in creative collaborations. 

For over 30 years we have been fundraising through the worlds of fashion and art. It started in 1994, when David Bowie, Brian and Anthea Norman-Taylor curated Little Pieces from Big Stars, an exhibition for War Child. The show not only raised vital funds but also marked the beginning of a legacy embedding creativity at the heart of our fundraising efforts and inspiring decades of bold, artist-led collaborations. 

Various drawings by children pinned up on a wall.

Art plays a vital role in our work, offering children a powerful outlet to process and heal from the trauma they’ve endured through art therapy. These drawings are by children from the Roma community at a War Child supported shelter in Ukraine. The words say, 'peace for Ukraine'.

Our Creative Community 

At War Child, we work with the creative industries to protect, educate, and stand up for the rights of children around the world. From Fashion to Film, Literature to Comedy, we believe the creative industries have the power to raise awareness and drive highly impactful results in creative ways.  

Collaborate With Us 

We’re always open to new creative collaborations and we want to hear from you.  

Right now, it’s estimated that almost 1 in 5 children around the world are living in or fleeing from conflict zones.  

Work with us to provide life-saving aid when conflict starts and help us to stay for as long as what is needed to support children through their recovery.
