Sid has been a main presenter since the CBeebies channel launched in 2002. The channel, which is on air from 6am to 7pm is primarily aimed at children under 6yrs of age and as such makes Sid a perfect choice to be one of our patrons. As an actor Sid has enjoyed performing on stage for children and families in such roles as Aslan in 'The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe', the Narrator in 'The Twits' and Slave of the Ring in 'Aladdin'. Sid is a family man with a 9yr old son and would like to help empower children to develop confidence in and through their own creativity.

Sid is passionate about supporting good causes and is a keen supporter of Barnardos, joining in many of their fundraising events, even taking part in the London Marathon for them in 2003 and 2006. Sid has also supported FREDome who aim to make a better world for our children to inherit and is also currently a patron for Body & Soul charity supporting children and families living in the UK with HIV and AIDS.
