Coldplay Donate £1 Million Pounds to Charity

British rock band Coldplay have just donated £1 million to a children’s charity called Kids Company. The South London based charity works to give educational, emotional and practical support to inner-city kids. Kids Company is one of three charities supported by Spoonfed and our partners in the forthcoming charity jamboree London for London.

The band made the generous gift after many visits to the charity’s various centres, and founder Camilla Batmanghelidjh said she ‘got the feeling the donation was something they had planned from the start of their careers.’

Kids Company, that has been running since 2006, works with children and young people who live in severe deprivation with little or no support from parents or guardians. They aim to help build empathy and relationships with these children to support them through the stages of growing up. 

As well as donating the money, Coldplay plan to give music lessons to the children.
