Charitable Activities Section
[edit]Sleaford Mods have been involved in several charitable initiatives, often using their music and public platform to support social causes.
In 2024, the duo collaborated with electronic band Hot Chip on a charity single for War Child UK. The two-track vinyl, featuring “Nom Nom Nom” and “Cat Burglar,” was recorded at Abbey Road Studios and released with artwork by David Shrigley. The limited-edition release raised over £47,000 to support children affected by conflict.https://www.stilllisteningmagazine.com/features/sleaford-mods-and-hot-chip-collaborate-on-charity-singles-for-war-childhttps://www.facebook.com/SleafordModsOfficial/posts/1177705060384261
In November 2023, Sleaford Mods released a cover of the Pet Shop Boys’ “West End Girls,” with proceeds donated to the homelessness charity Shelter. The release was part of the band’s continued efforts to raise awareness and funds for housing insecurity, including merchandise campaigns and donation drives during live tours.https://www.bigissue.com/culture/music/sleaford-mods-pet-shop-boys-west-end-girls-shelter
The group have also addressed social inequality through media projects. Their 2015 documentary Sleaford Mods: Invisible Britain chronicled their UK tour while highlighting the impact of austerity policies on working-class communities. The film featured interviews with residents in towns affected by economic decline and political marginalization.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sleaford_Mods:_Invisible_Britain VelvetDeadline (talk) 14:14, 4 June 2025 (UTC)
