Shine A Light - Florence Welch's birthday gift 2020

“Try to fill us with your hate and we will shine a light.

And the days will become endless and never turn to night”

Since 2007, it has been clear that Florence + the Machine fans have been united with a common cause: for love, hope and bettering the world in which they live. Every day, we are inspired by the solidarity fans show during such testing times.

It is why, for Florence Welch’s 34th birthday, we have collaborated with fans Ariel (@flomachinenews) and Emily (@purefeelingflo) to create a donation page for fans to celebrate and continue to strive for a better world through supporting charities that Florence has also recognised in recent times. They include:

• Médecins Sans Frontières - a charity aimed at providing medical care to all those in need of it, transcending borders, political ties and financial ability.

• Mermaid UK - a charity which supports and nurtures the needs of transgender and gender-variant children and teens in the UK.

• The Bail Project - an organisation which aims to prevent the mass incarceration of often under-represented groups in the US justice system, particularly those in poverty, black and ethnic minority groups, and many more.

This is a tough time financially for a lot of people, so any amount that you are able to donate would go a long way if you are in the position to do so.
