24 November 2006 (Jewswire.com) - Norwood is pleased to have been chosen as one of the five charities to benefit from the new Katie Price and Peter Andre duets album to be released on Monday 27th November 2006. The album, entitled ‘A Whole New World’ will be a charity album with all the royalties and money raised going to their five chosen charities.
Norma Brier, Norwood chief executive said, ‘We’re delighted that Katie and Peter are supporting our work. We know, that as parents of a child with a learning disability, Katie and Peter understand only too well the challenges as well as pleasures that this can bring and how vital it is to have people to turn to for support when the going gets tough. We hope the album is a great success.’
The money raised, will help to fund Norwood’s wide variety of services, including the respite care centre, Buckets and Spades, our new school project providing education to children with profound learning disabilities and our social work team who give vital support to children and families.
Katie and Peter feel this a great opportunity for the public to hear them sing together but is also a chance for Katie and Peter to give something back and an opportunity to raise lots of money. They would really like as many people as possible to buy their album and for everyone to have the chance of giving those less fortunate a happier future!
The demand for a single release has been massive ever since Katie and Peter’s performance of ‘A Whole New World’ on Children In Need last year. They wanted to produce more than a single and over the last year they have been carefully selecting a number of love songs and up beat classics to record for the album.
The other charities that will be supported from the album will be NSPCC, The Disability Foundation, Moorfields Eye Hospital (the Richard Desmond Eye Centre) and Vision.
