What charities does David support/endorse?
– David supports numerous worthy causes and his charitable trust has donated a substantial amount to a variety of charities. He cares passionately about the homeless and gave the entire proceeds of the sale of his London town house (to Princess Diana’s brother, Earl Spencer) to Crisis. He is now their vice president, although he prefers to keep out of the public eye as much as possible. He has performed at myriad benefit gigs for Teenage Cancer Trust, Nordoff-Robbins Music Therapy, Amnesty International and PETA among others. Of course, the Pink Floyd reunion in July 2005 was driven by a desire to contribute to an important cause (Live 8) and the profits made from increased record sales were also donated to charity at David’s behest. Unlike many celebrities, you don’t hear much about David’s philanthropic ways, but that’s only because he doesn’t advertise them.
