The Wire actor Dominic West presents an appeal on behalf of The Sick Children's Trust.

Actor Dominic West appeals on behalf of The Sick Children's Trust, a charity that provides free accommodation for families with seriously ill children.

The Wire star and BAFTA award-winning actor Dominic West makes an appeal on behalf of the Sick Children's Trust, a charity that provides free accommodation for families with seriously ill children. 

The film features Elsie who, when she was two years old, was suddenly diagnosed with a rare form of child leukaemia and rushed to a specialist unit miles away from home. For six months, Elsie's family stayed in one of the charity's 'homes from home' so that they could be together by Elsie's bedside whilst she underwent chemotherapy. Elsie has now made a good recovery and is back at school.

To donate, please call 0800 011 011, go online at www.bbc.co.uk/lifeline or send donations to The Sick Children's Trust, Freepost, BBC Lifeline Appeal.
