Bring Kids Back: A Christmas Wish Concert

Bring Kids Back: A Christmas Wish is a charity concert at the Church of Christ the Cornerstone on Sunday 13 December, presented by Ukraine Appeal. It's an all-ages afternoon, so it's one you can bring the whole family along to.

The music comes from two choirs sharing the stage: Cornerstone Young Voices and the children of the Ukrainian Sunflower School here in Milton Keynes. They're joining forces to raise money for Christmas gifts for children who have lost their parents because of the war in Ukraine.

There's more to the afternoon than the fundraising, though. The performers are also drawing attention to Ukrainian children who have been abducted and forcibly transferred by Russia, which is where the concert gets its title and its wish: 'BRING KIDS BACK'.

The venue is the Church of Christ the Cornerstone at 300 Saxon Gate, MK9 2ES. It's a modern, multi-denominational church in the heart of town that opened in 1992, known for its contemporary architecture and for being as much a community hub as a place of worship. It's open to audiences of all ages, so it works whether you're coming on your own or with a full house. The concert runs from 15:00 to 17:00, and tickets go from £3 to £20 via Eventbrite.
