Never Such Innocence

Who we are

At Never Such Innocence we aim to give children and young people across the world a voice on war and conflict. We offer opportunities to reflect on conflict throughout history and today through a poetry, art, song and speeches competition. 

The charity began as a First World War commemoration project for children and young people.  Over 11,000 young people from 47 different countries, territories and dependencies created poetry, artwork, and songs inspired by this conflict.  From 2019 we have expanded our focus to include conflict in all forms and throughout history, up to and including the present day.
