The Thursday Murder Club star David Tennant has been announced as a new ambassador for Multibank, a charity founded by former Prime Minister Gordon Brown, which aims to support families in need.

The Scottish actor commented 'I think Multibank is a brilliant, clever and very pure idea. The companies and businesses have products they can't use or can't sell, and the Multibank takes them, repurposes them and gives them to people who can't afford them, who are suffering, and makes their lives better. Everyone wins. It's one of those perfect ideas. I can't believe it hasn't already existed and I'm thrilled to be supporting it'.
