Fact: 1.2 billion people - 20 times the population of the UK and almost 20% of all the people on the planet - are living on less than £1/day. To help raise awareness of this extreme poverty, I've signed-up for the "below the line" challenge. Together with 25,000 others I'll be living on just £5 for 5 days.

Of course, a working week is nothing compared to a lifetime of having to scrape by, but I'll also be raising money for Action Against Hunger, an amazing charity committed to eradicating child hunger. So, if you'd like to help, please visit my just giving page and help me to support them.
