Jodie Whittaker and Hugh Dennis star in ActionAid film


13 09 2017

Celebrities including Jodie Whittaker, Hugh Dennis, Steven Caulker, Eno Williams and Kelly Convey have teamed up with ActionAid to star in a new campaign video for the charity's back to school appeal.

The video sees the stars sharing their school memories in a bid to encourage people to donate funds so children in poorer countries can go to school, and Whittaker commented 'I loved being part of this film for ActionAid, and having a moment of nostalgia about school life and where my love for acting began. Every child should have the chance to go to school, to learn and to have the opportunity to choose a path and a future they desire'.
