This year, in true Hollywood style, 'Words For You' gets a sequel. Once again featuring the greatest poems, set to the greatest classical music, 'Words For You The Next Chapter' draws on the vocal brilliance of some of the biggest names in Hollywood including Helena Bonham Carter, Jim Broadbent, James Earl Jones, Terence Stamp and Meryl Streep, plus the cream of British acting establishment and new talent Peter Capaldi, Benedict Cumberbatch, Dervla Kirwan, Maureen Lipman, and Rupert Penry Jones. The artists involved have waived their royalty so that a proportion of proceeds from sales of 'Words For You' can go to I CAN, a UK charity that helps children who have difficulties speaking and understanding. www.ican.org.uk. Virginia Beardshaw, Chief Executive of I CAN, said; "Words come easily to many of us. Actors, especially, thrive on their mastery of the spoken word. Sadly, for a large number of children, the ability to use words is a real challenge. It is a struggle for them to learn and make friends. I CAN helps these children so they don’t get left out and left behind. The Funds raised by sales of 'Words for You' have helped over 150 young children who were struggling to join in and learn at school because of a difficulty communicating." |
