Until 2012 Radcliffe had publicly supported the Liberal Democrats, and before the 2010 general election Radcliffe endorsed Nick Clegg, the Lib Dem leader. He first learned of the organization while working on Equus on Broadway in 2008 and has contributed financially to it. Radcliffe has supported various charities. He designed the Cu-Bed for Habitat's VIP Kids range with all the royalties from the sale of the bed going directly to his favourite charity, Demelza House Children's Hospice in Sittingbourne, Kent.
