Wonderful to join @pennyappeal in Ilford this afternoon, in only 2 weeks they've raised over £3000 to provide water, food & medicine to people in need.
Showing how we can all make a huge difference with just small change - an inspiring charity with a great message.

A bill will be presented to the House of Commons calling on the govt to ensure schools with disadvantaged pupils have the long-term financial support they need to give free and nutritious breakfasts to kids at risk of hunger.
@YusufCatStevens explains why he's backing the bill.
