Helen is one of a number of leading celebrities - including Ricky Gervais, Graham Norton and the saintly Joanna Lumley - who have created and signed a one-off, unique t-shirt each reflecting their personalities to be sold for ActionAid - and Helen's is earmarked for an IoS reader.

It is a 100% organic, certified fair trade cotton t-shirt, lovingly hand-customised by Helen for PoverTee Day.  Minx that she is, she has written ‘Get it out for the Girls’ on the front and ‘Your money you fool. 70% of the worlds poorest are female. End poverty. ActionAid’ on the back of the t-shirt.  

It is a woman’s t-shirt, size ten/small. There is not another one like it in the world - how cool would that be, either to wear yourself or for a pressie?

ActionAid’s first ever PoverTee Day will take place on Friday 26 June, when everyone in the UK is asked to ditch their usual suit or uniform and donate £2 to wear a t-shirt. To find out more click here 

 

All the money raised on the day and from IoS readers will go directly to ActionAid’s work with some of the poorest people and communities in the world. ActionAid works in over forty countries worldwide to fight global poverty and injustice. To find out more click here

We will select the lucky winner of Helen's t-shirt at random.
