TV Entertainer Bruce Forsyth is asking for well wishers to donate to the charity EveryChild, rather than spend money on him for his 80th birthday.
The host of Strictly Come Dancing is a longstanding patron of EveryChild, an international children’s charity.
Around the world EveryChild rescues children from the streets, prevents them from entering institutional care and enforced domestic labour, helps protect them from abuse and violence and reunites them with their families and communities. EveryChild works 13 countries in Eastern Europe and the Former Soviet Union, Asia, Africa & South America.
Anna Feuchtwang, Chief Executive of EveryChild, said: “EveryChild wishes Bruce many happy returns on his 80th birthday. We are delighted that Bruce, a great supporter of EveryChild, has generously asked that people donate to our charity rather than buy him presents. It is a great indication of his generous spirit, for which many children around the world will be saying ‘thank-you’.”
