Sir David Jason is forfeiting his share of a government grant to help elderly couples all over the U.K. keep warm during winter.
The British government awards any citizen over the age of 65 a payment of up to £300 each year to help offset the high cost of heating during the chilly winter months.
A campaign has been launched to encourage wealthy recipients to donate their allowance to poorer pensioners - and Jason, 71, has joined the scheme.
The actor, most famous for his role as Del Boy Trotter in classic TV sitcom Only Fools and Horses, says: "I wanted to pledge my payment to the Surviving Winter Appeal. It would be great to think that all those people who are in a position to forego part or all of their own winter fuel payment could join this great scheme and spread a little warmth."
