Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway: Michael is sitting at a table in a large empty warehouse. There is a lamp, laptop computer, and some pencils on the table. His hands are clasped together and he is smiling

A whole year since #michaelsheengiveaway aired. It’s astounding to think about what a difference that £1m of written-off debt might have made within a year. A year of relief, of change, and of optimism for a brighter future.

A group of nine people stands together in a wood-panelled parliamentary room with ornate red and gold wallpaper. They are dressed in business or smart-casual attire, wearing orange visitor lanyards. Two banners in the background display the text "Fair Banking for All" and "APPG Fair Banking." Among the group, actor and activist Michael Sheen is visible wearing a green jacket. The individuals are smiling and posing for the photo, standing behind a table with microphones and a computer monitor.

It's #DebtAwarenessWeek and we're campaigning with

Just watched #michaelsheengiveaway which is so relevant. We just came to the end of a fixed rate mortgage. Our borrowing is in a very niche sector. I have virtually no choice and we are going from 4% interest to 8.25% on our mortgage.

Interest charges doubling. 3 weeks notice. Division of Lloyds.

Just watched #michaelsheengiveaway and it's just a brilliant documentary. @channel4tv.bsky.social

The #michaelsheengiveaway is equally inspiring, uplifting and upsetting. A really good watch.

Watching the brilliant @mchshe.bsky.social #michaelsheengiveaway & whilst it is a brilliant thing, it really does dredge up those awful feelings of being poor. Hiding behind sofa, making sure the lights were off..that fear never really goes

#michaelsheengiveaway Michael is, and always will be a rich man because he understands the worth of people, community, and decency. More power to him, #PortTalbot, and everyone.

Yes. Yes very much.

That's the heartbreaking thing isn't it? So many can identify with being preyed upon by a flawed & greedy system. Made victims during their most vulnerable times, kept in a poverty cycle driven by these rates. The #MichaelSheenGiveaway draws attention to the urgent need for the #FairBankingAct

The world needs more Big Sheen Energy!

Welsh actor Michael Sheen using his own £100.000 to buy £1m worth of people's debts and write it off, trying to change the system in the long run.
#michaelsheengiveaway

Michael Sheen’s Secret Million Pound Giveaway review – this Robin Hood heist is a total inspiration The Welsh actor is rightly indignant as he meets people struggling with debts in his home town … then devises an elaborate ploy to pay them off using his own cash. You can’t help but root for him

ICYMI folks.
This programme is well worth watching.
@mchshe.bsky.social is the most fantastic human!
#MichaelSheenGiveAway

Wow #michaelsheengiveaway

Heartbreaking. Inspiring. Sad. Uplifting. What is this world we live in?

#michaelsheengiveaway I finished it and wow this is insane

#michaelsheengiveaway showing just how wrong this country has it when it comes to financial matters for everyday people.

An amazing thing to do, but tragic that it needs doing.

Also an interesting point that the UK helped the banks out, shouldn't they do the same for us? #fairbankingact

If only all wealthy folk could be as beautiful and wonderful as @mchshe.bsky.social

Michael Sheen

@mchshe.bsky.social has produced a great film about debt premium. He's used £100k of his own money to buy £1 million worth of people's debt to then write it off.
900 people in South Wales benefited from his generosity. Watch #MichaelSheenGiveAway (via UK Channel 4) www.channel4.com/programmes/m...

No comment needed.

Michael said his financial circumstances changed in the 2 years the documentary #michaelsheengiveaway covered and I was trying to think about why that might be. This project started in Autumn 2022. Since then:
Started Mab Gwalia endowment fund (£250k) in March 2023
