The festive John Lewis advert will be released on November 10 and is titled The Beginner as it aims to raise awareness of children in care.
The release of the advert follows the launch of the Building Happier Futures programme, which is a long-term commitment to help young people with experience of the care system in a number of ways, including to find meaningful careers.
The Beginner follows a middle-aged man as he struggles comedically to master the skill of skateboarding ahead of the arrival of his new foster child, Ellie.
