It’s being dubbed the ‘must have’ collector’s item, limited edition, one off t-shirt for any fashionista with a heart and I suppose it’s true. Stella McCartney has done her good deed for the year by joining forces with Red Nose charity Comic Relief, by designing adult unisex t-shirts which have old British icons from the world of music and television. No surprise she’s included her Dad’s band (‘what they called again? Oh yeah, the Beatles’…) as well as comedy duo Morecambe and Wise and Madonna. I personally prefer the Morecambe and Wise one (they always did make me and my Dad laugh)…The t-shirts cost £9.99 and are available from TK Maxx stores and the Comic Relief website. They’re selling out like hot suya, so you better hurry. To give you an idea of what a difference you buying the t-shirt can do in the UK and Africa, take a look at the below stats…
IN THE UK:
1. £3 could pay for an information pack to teach school children about domestic violence and who they can turn to for help.
2. Just £5 could buy a toy for a child who has nothing after fleeing their home with their mum because of domestic violence.
3. As little as £8 could enable three women experiencing domestic abuse to get the advice they need when they call the National 24 Hour Domestic Violence Helpline.
IN AFRICA:
1. Niger is one of the world's poorest countries. Just £3 could pay for lunch for 9 children living in extreme poverty.
2. £5 could buy a primary school uniform for a child living in poverty in Uganda.
3. Malaria still kills a child in Africa every 30 seconds. £10 could pay for two bed nets to help protect a mother and her children from the killer disease
