Ryan Guldemond has produced a song with young people from a Surrey refugee charity

A Surrey charity has produced a song with the lead singer of an international indie rock band.

The Big Leaf Foundation in Guildford supports refugee children living in the county

The charity has worked with Ryan Guldemond from the band Mother Mother, to produce the song Please Don't Let Me Down, produced by Livingstone Brown.

The track was produced to mark refugee week in June.

First founded as a summer camp for 12 youngsters in 2017, The Big Leaf Foundation now provides year-round activities for displaced children.

It runs projects to tackle social isolation, including the arts, sports and equine therapy.

The song was co-written and produced by some of the young people the charity is currently working with, and can be heard here.

It was mixed and mastered at the ACM Studios in Guildford.
