In June 2009 , Coldplay began supporting Meat Free Monday , a food campaign started by Paul McCartney which attempts to help slow climate change by having at least one meat free day a week . From 17 and 31 December 2009 , Coldplay auctioned a quantity of significant band memorabilia , including their first guitars . Proceeds went to Kids Company , a charity which helps vulnerable children and young people in London . A month later in January 2010 , Coldplay performed a slightly modified version of " A Message " , entitled " A Message 2010 " , at the Hope For Haiti Now telethon special , raising money for the victims of the 2010 Haiti earthquake
