What is the Young Supporters Concert?

Over 900 young people, from over 25 schools across the UK, will come and sing together to raise vital funds for the children and young people we support to be safe, happy, healthy and hopeful.

This year our musical theme will be ‘Showtime’, and our audience will enjoy both massed choir and orchestral pieces which will celebrate some of Britain’s most adored musical numbers both old and new, and well known movie scores.

Young Supporters from across the country will join with the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra under the baton of Artistic Director, Benjamin Pope, to raise funds needed now to support our work across the UK to change childhoods and change lives.  

Our Host will once again be our president Natasha Kaplinsky OBE.

Grab a ticket to get involved in the action and watch all our young supporters perform.
