Hope For The Future
Secret 7” brings musicians, artists and supporters together to stand with children whose lives are shaped by war. This matters now more than ever before.
Today, 1 in 5 children are affected by conflict. From Sudan to Gaza, Ukraine to Yemen, millions of children are facing violence, displacement and trauma. Homes are destroyed. Schools are closed. Families are separated. Childhoods are stolen.
The need for support is urgent and growing.
100% of proceeds from Secret 7” go directly to War Child’s work with children and families across 13 countries.
We believe that no child should be part of war. Ever. Thank you for believing it too.
Exhibition
All 700 2026 sleeves will be displayed at a free exhibition at 180 Studios from 18 to 30 August, giving visitors the perfect opportunity to admire the creativity up close before placing their bids in the online auction.
