Celebrities including Dame Dame Emma Thompson, The 1975, Tom Ford, Beverley Knight, Joe Wicks, Jamie Vardy, and Ed Sheeran, have donated special items to be sold at the Barnardo's online Christmas auction, running December 1-15, with all proceeds going to the work of the charity.

Barnardo's ambassador and film star Andy Serkis donated signed memorabilia from Black Panther and Planet of the Apes, and commented 'It’s always a pleasure to support Barnardo’s where I can as it’s a really worthy charity. I really hope someone can give a good home to these signed items'.
