ONE FOR ALL

One For All

In a concept created by Antony Gormley, the UK's living legend of modern sculpture, hundreds of people joined together wearing the exclusive 'One For All' T-shirt - and thanks to the weather some very nice rain-proof ponchos too! Together they created three unique representations - artwork which has been photographed and shown all over the world. "One For All" is supported by a great family of partners including the UK's charity Comic Relief, international campaigners and celebrities Richard Curtis and Bono, and Tadao Ando.

People came together to send out a united voice and become one - to stand up in the fight against global poverty. Together, our action became the voice within the global media for those without a chance to be heard in their struggle against daily poverty. See the event page for the first images from the fantastic event.

Antony Gormley - biography

Born in 1950, Anthony is Britain's most prolific modern sculptor - famous and iconic for his use of his own body as a motif.

His works are exhibited in museums around the world and he has previously exhibited and created installations in Japan. He was awarded the Turner Prize in 1994 and was honoured as an Order of the British Empire (OBE) in 1997.

At the turn of the century the world committed to helping people living in poverty through the Millennium Development Goals. Meeting these goals by their 2015 deadline would mean less hungry people, fewer infant and maternal deaths, more children in schools and greater protection for the environment.

The world is not on track to meet the Goals and we must all try to put this right. Leaders meeting in Japan this summer have a special role to play and are to be encouraged to keep their promises to the world's poor when they meet in Japan at TICAD now and the G8 Summit in July.

The hundreds of people coming together in the One For All event will be expressing their support for government action to improve the lives of people living in poverty. They join the many people signing up to the "Me Too" and "ONE" campaigns, along with supporters of the hundreds of NGOs working in Japan, and around the world, to ensure the Millennium Development Goals are met.
