UKRAINE FUNDRAISER TOPS £13.4M

Tuesday’s Concert for Ukraine raised £13.4m for the Disasters Emergency Committee humanitarian appeal. The event, which took place at Resorts World Arena Birmingham, in Birmingham, England, featured performances by Ed Sheeran, Camila Cabello, Nile Rodgers and many others.

The two-hour fundraiser, broadcast exclusively on ITV and STV, raised millions from sponsorship, ad revenue and public donations. Proceeds will go toward food, water, shelter, health care and protection for those fleeing the conflict in Ukraine.

Others who performed included Anne-Marie, Becky Hill, Emeli Sandé, Gregory Porter, Manic Street Preachers, Nicola Benedetti, Snow Patrol and Tom Odell. Ukrainian singer Jamala, winner of the 2016 Eurovision Song Contest, was also on the bill. Billie Eilish and FINNEAS dropped in via video to offer a message of support.

Roughly 8k people attended the event, with a peak of 3.6m people watching the live broadcast.
