What do Alexandra Burke, Dame Judi Dench, Timothy Spall and Nell McAndrew have in common?
Each of these celebrities have contributed images to a special photograph collection which were put on display at the Oxo Tower, London in September, to mark the first Remember A Charity Week.
Alexandra Burke took a photograph of the trip she made to Haiti with Save the Children; Dame Judi Dench captured The College of St Barnabas whilst Timothy Spall took a picture on board an RNLI lifeboat.Nell McAndrew appeared in a shot alongside her grandfather.
The exhibition of images, taken by celebrity photographer Ed Miller, depicted the difference a gift in a will can make to well known good causes in the UK.
Currently only 7% of people include a gift to charity in their will.If just an additional 4% of people remembered a charity, this would raise a further £1 billion for good causes every year.
