I first published 'Lights on a Truck' on my channel in 2016 - remember when we thought 2016 was the worst year ever? It's rough around the edges but it has always held a special place in my heart.
2020 has been terrible for a lot of people, myself included and if there was ever a year that the message of the song was relevant, it is this one. I've had so much incredible support this year from so many people it only feels right to give something back - with a charity appeal for Shelter!
Shelter is a UK-based charity (Charity number 263710) that provides help to those struggling with homelessness and bad housing, which is particularly important currently with even more people facing housing problems due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

100% of YouTube ad revenue on this track until January 31st 2021 will be donated to Shelter, so just by watching this you're helping out!
Sales and streaming revenue are harder to calculate as I receive them on a long delay, but I will be making a cash donation based on revenue estimates.
I'll be contributing 10% of the initial funding goal. If we can meet that goal? I'll double that donation.
JustGiving are UK based, but you can donate from anywhere in the world in five different currencies.
If you are a UK taxpayer, be sure to say YES to Gift Aid, as Shelter can claim an extra 25p for every £1 you give. It will not cost you any extra.
Have a very merry and very safe Christmas, everyone. Let's do some good.
