On
Sunday 15 May, the UK’s
largest choir –
Rock Choir –filled Wembley Arena
and held up over 10,000 posters of missing children to raise awareness
of the International Missing Children’s Day (25 May).
Rock
Choir live at Wembley – the first time every member of Rock Choir from
across the UK
has sung together under one roof – marked the launch of a new
partnership between Rock Choir and the charity.
Caroline Redman Lusher, Director of Rock Choir said, “I am constantly
overwhelmed by how many members tell me that joining Rock Choir has been
a truly life-changing experience, which is why it felt so right to
support Missing People. The charity changes the lives of people affected
when someone disappears each and every day. If we can help just one
missing child be brought home to safety, it will all have been
worthwhile.”
Martin Houghton-Brown, Chief Executive of Missing People said, “By
actively joining the search for missing children, and raising funds for
the search to continue, Rock Choir has created a truly innovative
partnership. International Missing Children’s Day is a key moment for us
to remember the 100,000 children who go missing every year and this is a
wonderful way to mark it.”
The
charity believes that the Rock Choir event will be the largest ever
single display of missing children by a group in the
UK. The Rock Choir’s journey to
Wembley will be captured in an ITV documentary about Rock Choir to be
aired on ITV1 soon. |
