“It’s amazing to be able to offer our supporters the chance to win such an exclusive item, with such an important and unique history, and we’re grateful to Sean and Yoko for including us,” says Lucy Voakes, Fundraising Innovation Manager at Concern.

“The prize draw will raise vital funds at a time when nearly 300 million people around the world need humanitarian assistance and protection, due to conflicts, climate emergencies and other economic factors.”

The LP bears a machine-printed signature from Yoko Ono, as well as the B-Side ‘Remember Love’. ‘Give Peace a Chance’ was first produced fifty-five years ago in June 1969, during John Lennon and Yoko Ono’s famous “bed-in for peace” in Montréal.

A performance of the song was featured on Lennon's Live Peace in Toronto 1969 and the track swiftly became a leading anthem for the era’s anti-war movement.

Run by Concern UK, the raffle is  open to entrants from all over the world. Tickets are £5 (€5.80) each. To enter and learn more visit Concern’s Crowdfunder page.
