Story
The concert is over but the need for help at the St Nicholas Hospital for Children in Lviv, Ukraine is increasing daily. The war continues and so many civilian targets result in gravely injured citizens - amongst them maimed frightened children.
What happened at the concert?
EMILIA FOX, FREDDIE FOX and famous cellist RAPHAEL WALLFISCH pianist JOHN YORK donated their talent by performing at our inspirational concert of Words and Music on Sunday October 2nd 2022 at 4pm in St Thomas' Church, Winchelsea TN36 4EB in aid of the war-damaged children of Ukraine Standing ovations - cries of "Bravo" from the audience in the packed church.
"A monumental success!' "The best concert we have ever had". "Brilliant musicians matched perfectly with such superb actors!" - the rave notices are still coming in."
Russian missiles have not only injured these children but have also destroyed the hospitals in their hometowns so they are being sent to St Nicholas Children’s Hospital in Lviv. Many have lost limbs, have horrendous shrapnel wounds and one little boy of seven has 45% burns. The St Nicholas Hospital we are supporting is desperate for a new operating theatre and medical equipment to help them cope with the traumatised children who now have to learn to restructure their broken lives - often alone in the world as all their relatives have been killed.
