WHO CARES?

The Who have always responded quickly to charitable crises. In the past years the band has especially helped Teenage Cancer Trust, raising close to £3,000,000 to provide specialist teenage cancer wards. The sell-out concerts by The Who and Friends at the Royal Albert Hall have become a flagship event in TCT’s annual calendar.

Double O runs as a private dispersal charity focussed mainly on 'survival' of drug and alcohol damage, domestic violence, sexual abuse, music education, emergency relief for International disasters, and young people's prison reform. In 2000, Double O held a charity Internet auction and donated £300,000 to Oxfam for their Mozambique Earthquake appeal. In 2005, The Who appeared in New York raising funds for Double O as part of a Four Seasons of Hope event (to benefit children in need), which was sponsored by Samsung.
