The Body Shop Sponsors Teenage Cancer Trust concerts

2 min read

The Body Shop has announced it will be the official headline sponsors of the Teenage Cancer Trust concert series at the Royal Albert Hall in March 2013.
Both The Body Shop and Teenage Cancer Trust are committed to changing lives through positive activism and building self-esteem, so it seems a natural partnership, agreed? They share the belief that Beauty is about looking good, feeling good and doing good and the concert series provides the perfect platform to bring this to life.

The Body Shop is incredibly proud to be supporting Teenage Cancer Trust at the Royal Albert Hall this year,” said Simon Coble, General Manager, The Body Shop (UK). “The shows are a key event in the British music calendar and we’re looking forward to bringing our mantra of Beauty With Heart to life through this fantastic collaboration and exciting week of music and comedy.

The Teenage Cancer Trust has announced the stellar line-up for their annual concert series at the Royal Albert Hall, curated by Noel Gallagher, and including Ryan Adams, Primal Scream, Kasabian and more, and taking place from 19th to 24th March 2013.

Teenage Cancer Trust’s patron and The Who front man, Roger Daltrey CBE, has been the driving force behind the concerts for over twelve years. For the first time this year, Roger worked alongside longstanding supporter of Teenage Cancer Trust, Noel Gallagher, to handpick the incredible line-up that reads like a who’s who of the rock world.

As I am in the middle of a 6 month tour of the US with The Who, I was very concerned that I would not find the time to curate next year’s Teenage Cancer Trust shows at the Royal Albert Hall,” explained Roger. “So it’s with great pride and relief that I’m able to thank Noel Gallagher, who has supported me from day one of these concerts, for standing in for me and arranging the artists for the shows next March, and he has pulled together a fantastic line up that promises to be another great success for the charity.

Twelve years of concerts have raised over £15million for Teenage Cancer Trust, making a massive difference to the lives of thousands of young people with cancer across the UK. All money raised has helped the charity to build more specialist teenage cancer units in NHS hospitals across the UK, allowing young people to be treated together with others their own age, in an environment suited to their needs.

The Body Shop will be involved heavily in the run-up to the concerts, so watch this space. Tickets, from £25.00 (plus booking fee), will be available from 9.30am on Friday 7th December 2012 (tomorrow).
