Wassail is an intimate dinner featuring special musical performances and surprise readings for Children in Conflict's closest friends and supporters.
Hosted by Carey Mulligan and Marcus Mumford, the event celebrates our work and recognizes all that still needs to be done.
Since its inception in 2014, Wassail has raised over $21 million for children around the world.
Wassail takes place annually, alternating between London and New York. For the first time since its inception, Wassail is coming to LA.
"Last night's Wassail embodied the hope, purpose and shared commitment to changing the lives of children living through conflict across the world."

Children in Conflict is driven by a single goal – ensuring a safe future for every child affected by war.
We are the US member of the War Child Alliance, funding War Child's work around the world.
Together with our War Child colleagues, we work in the hardest to reach places to support those who are hardest hit –
to protect, educate and stand up for the rights of children, when they need us most.
Our work is focused on four key areas:
Psychosocial Support - Addressing mental health crises and trauma.
Education - Getting students back in school and on track.
Protection - Keeping children safe in conflict zones.
Empowerment - Advocating children’s rights and needs on a global scale.
