London, UK — In a remarkable act of generosity, music legend Paul McCartney announced this week that he is donating his entire $12.9 million in recent tour and sponsorship earnings to fund a major homeless shelter initiative — one that will bring 150 permanent housing units and 300 shelter beds to some of the most vulnerable people in the UK.
The project, set to launch in Liverpool and expand to other cities, reflects McCartney’s lifelong commitment to humanitarian causes and his belief that “everyone deserves a place to feel safe.”
“I’ve seen the effects of homelessness in so many cities over the years,” McCartney said during a press conference in London. “And I knew if I ever had the means, I’d give back in a meaningful way. No one deserves to sleep on a sidewalk.”
