Coldplay Donate £1 million to Children’s Charity Kids Company
Leave the first response September 23, 2009 / Posted in NewsWe’re accustomed to bands making the headlines for all the wrong reasons, so it’s a nice change to see a group of musicians being praised for their philanthropic activities, even if the band is Coldplay 
Joking aside, the band have donated £1 million pounds to the South London based Kids Company, a charity founded by Camila Batmanghelidjh in 1996 in order to provide practical, emotional and educational support to vulnerable inner-city children and young people. The band have visited the charity a few times to see the work they are doing in the local communities and plan to return to give music lessons to the children who attend their centres.
Just to remind us of how great Coldplay are, below is the official video for the new single, Strawberry Swing.
It’s a shame this news has not been reported across more of the media, perhaps if news channels widened their focus from misbehaving celebs to more positive role models like Coldplay, more people would be encouraged to get involved with charitable work.
