As the conflict continues to escalate in Ukraine, millions of children and their families are in danger. With explosions in major cities across the country and thousands of families being forced to flee their homes, UNICEF is calling for an immediate ceasefire. UNICEF is determined to remain in Ukraine to reach the most vulnerable children and families.

Producers **Thomas Hopkins**, **Michael Quinn** and **Guy Chapman** have teamed up with local actor **Natalie Roberts** and the **Royal Hippodrome** in Eastbourne to produce this one-off event raising vital funds. Everyone involved has waived their fee.

Tickets ([HERE](https://royalhippodrome.com/event/concert-for-ukraine/?ref=scenemag.co.uk)) are **£10** and audiences will be able to make additional donations should they wish.
