My Inspiration - Bob Geldof - Pop star turned poverty campaigner
Former Boomtown Rats singer; fronted Live Aid in 1985 and Live 8 in 2005
For his fantastic ongoing efforts with Live Aid/8 to draw the world’s attention to third-world hunger and poverty. He’s made such a huge difference to so many people’s lives in the third world, but he is also a true inspiration for people of all walks of life all over the world.

Because he says it how he sees it and continues to try to use his position in life to make things better for those who can’t do it themselves.
Don Mitchell, London SW15
Band Aid and Live Aid changed people’s views on colour, race and charity, as well as saving countless lives.
Emma Bennett, London E11
Because he cares about helping those who are suffering and does something about it. You might question his methods or even his politics - but in his own way, via peaceful means, he’s done more than most politicians, pundits and experts combined.
Peter Arrand, Reading
