Personalities including Liam Gallagher, Larry Lamb, Ore Oduba, Sharon Horgan, Nadia Sawalha, Giovanni Pernice, Tom Parker, Imogen Thomas, Connie Simmonds, Dr Dr Ranj Singh, and Anna Saccone-Joly, have teamed up with Action For Children for its One Wish For Childhood campaign, highlighting how the pandemic has impacted young people across the country on the anniversary of the first national lockdown.
The stars share wishes including ‘love’, ‘dance’, ‘happiness’ and ‘education’, and Action for Children ambassador Lamb commented 'Over four million children in the UK are living in poverty right now. Many are going without proper food, heating, warm clothes and other essentials - and this was all happening before the pandemic. Now, with unemployment high and fears for the future when furlough ends, more families are facing financial hardship. And vulnerable children are paying the price'.
