The Mayor of London Boris Johnson has announced a new partnership with Unicef that is hoped will bring a new dimension to this year’s London New Year’s Eve fireworks display.
One hundred thousand revellers are expected to gather in the viewing areas for the hugely popular pyrotechnic and lighting display, which is focused around the Coca Cola London Eye. Tickets are now available to the public.
Through the partnership with Unicef, ticketholders are being invited to come together for the first ever New Year’s ‘Big Resolution’. In addition to the exclusive programme music, countdown to midnight and the spectacular display itself, The Big Resolution will aim to raise awareness about vulnerable children around the world.
Unicef is hoping to raise vital funds to help children caught in wars and disasters around the world, such as Syria.
The Mayor of London Boris Johnson said: ‘Our stunning fireworks display is seen by millions of people across the globe, celebrating the successes of the last year and looking ahead with optimism and positivity to the new one. I am thrilled that we are linking up with a global organisation like Unicef to mark the start of 2016 by bringing people together for a shared moment of goodwill to raise awareness and benefit children around the world.’
More details about plans for the London New Year’s Eve fireworks, including Unicef’s involvement will be announced in due course.
