David announced as a new ambassador for Multibank

David Tennant has been named an ambassador for Gordon Brown’s Multibank, a charity making sure families don’t have to go without everyday essentials like coats, bedding, duvets, school uniforms, sports kit, crockery, personal and household hygiene products, shoes, towels and shampoo. Over 100 businesses partner with them, including Amazon, which helps by giving excess stock or supporting logistics & tech.

David will front a new campaign to raise awareness of the Multibank and the work they do. Speaking about the project he said:

“I think the Multibank is a brilliant, clever and very pure idea, the companies and businesses have products they can’t use or can’t sell and the Multibank takes them, repurposes them and gives them to people who can’t afford them, who are suffering and makes they lives better. Everyone wins. It’s one of those perfect ideas. I can’t believe it hasn’t already existed and I’m thrilled to be supporting it.”

Gordon Brown also spoke about the importance of the work:

“The tragedy of the 2020s is that nearly 4.5 million children are facing abject, dire and never ending poverty that will shape their whole lives unless we act. While we await the Government’s child poverty review we cannot allow children to suffer and that is why the Multibank has given out 11 million goods to more than one million children to relieve deprivation in six different regions and nations of Britain. Our target is to move to 20 million goods as soon as possible to help two million children.”

The campaign’s message is simple but powerful: “Toilet roll or a toothbrush? No one should have to choose.”
