WAR CHILD announce ‘HELP (2)’ and partnership with CORNER SOUL
Following this morning’s announcement of the ‘Help (2)’ album, Corner Soul Advisory is pleased to confirm its appointment as the official Music Adviser to War Child Australia.
War Child is one of the world’s most respected humanitarian organisations, globally recognised for its unwavering commitment to protecting, educating and advocating for children affected by conflict. Its landmark 1995 album Help raised vital funds for children impacted by the war in Kosovo, and the special 30th anniversary release ‘Help (2)’ announced today features an exceptional roster of artists including Arctic Monkeys, Fontaines D.C., Kate Tempest and Olivia Rodrigo. The album will undoubtedly play a significnt role in generating urgent support for children living in conflict zones around the world.
War Child UK has long harnessed the power of music to raise awareness and critical funds through its War Child Records imprint, ambassador programmes, exclusive merchandise, and key sponsorship of the annual BRIT Awards. The organisation’s work is needed now more than ever, with War Child currently supporting children affected by conflict, on all sides, and in regions including Gaza, Sudan, Afghanistan and Ukraine.
“In such a difficult moment in time, we are honoured to bring together the Australian music industry and fans for a cause that is extremely important. This is a unique opportunity to stand behind an incredible charity that is respected around the world.”
“The children really are our future, and together with War Child we aim to raise awareness and provide vital funds to support all children impacted by conflict.” - Howard Adams (Managing Partner) and Troy Barrott, Corner Soul.
War Child Australia was established by volunteers in July 2002 and has continued as an all volunteer organisation since then, raising funds primarily from the ‘Girls Night In’ and ‘Kids Night In’ book series. It is part of the international War Child family and partner of War Child UK and War Child Canada.
“Troy and Howard at Corner Soul could not have approached us at a more opportune time. Corner Soul’s contacts and expertise in the music industry will allow us to expand on War Child UK’s music industry reputation in Australia. This will enable us to continue to raise funds to support critical work and create a safe future for every child living through war.” - Clare Mirabello and Anita Khosla, Directors, War Child Australia Limited
Corner Soul looks forward to supporting and expanding War Child’s music-led fundraising initiatives in Australia from 2026 and beyond. With planning already well underway, further announcements featuring a distinctly local flavour will follow, alongside an Australian program of activity designed to support War Child’s work throughout the year.
