Donations
This year, the fans at the Dedicated To Daniel forum decided to celebrate Daniel's Birthday by donating to one of his favourite charities. The charity they chose was Barnardo's and after lots of effort by forum member Dunda, they were able to set up a page that was easy and convenient for Daniel fans to give their donation. You can access the page by clicking the link below:

Daniel's Work With Barnardo's
In the Summer of 2007, Daniel did the voiceover on the radio spots for Barnardo's 'Believe In Children' adverts.

You can listen to the radio spot by clicking this link. You will need Windows Media Player to be able to listen to it.

It's not easy being a problem
People playing pass the parcel with your life
One set of foster parents then another
schools change like the weather
always being referred
But supposing someone gave you a chance
listened to you, let you make mistakes and didn't give up on you
treated you not like a problem but like a living breathing feeling child
what then
barnardo's
believe in children
to show you believe in children

Daniel also donated his Armani leather jacket which he wore in Casino Royale to Bonhams Auction House. It sold for £4,000 plus Premium and tax and the money went to Barnardo's.
