The concert was held by Project 0; a global charitable fund concerned with raising vital funds for the conservation of the oceans through innovative fundraising initiatives. Throughout the evening, the sold out crowd enjoyed rock n’ roll music interspersed with short films about the work of charities supported by Project 0, and impassioned pleas by Delevingne and the bands encouraging guests and those watching via live stream to text to donate*.

Jagger commented; “Tonight people have made a positive difference to the huge issue of marine conservation, by buying a ticket and texting to donate – which you can still do. It is a mammoth task to save our oceans but the great thing is, we can fix it and that’s exactly what we plan to do. It’s been an amazing night; we’ve all been blown away by the support!”
Project 0 raises money that is invested directly into marine projects worldwide for trusted NGO partners**. While the ocean makes up 70% of the Earth’s surface, today a mere 2.8% is under any form of protection. Project 0 is going for zero pollution, zero unprotected, zero underfunded, and zero overfishing. The organisation aims to put 30% of the ocean under protection by 2030, as well as funding innovative conservation strategies that will have rapid and much needed positive impact on the ocean.
