Beckhams Donate Clothes To Typhoon Haiyan Appeal

Fans flocked to the British Red Cross shops in Kensington and Chelsea today (November 22) to nab designer pieces donated by Victoria and David Beckham.

 

The famous couple cleared out their wardrobes to support the British Red Cross Shop Drop for the Philippines, with the aim of raising funds for the survivors of the devastating Typhoon Haiyan.

 

 

Pop star-turned-designer Victoria spent the weekend sifting through clothing, donating pieces from labels such as Dolce and Gabbana and Roberto Cavalli as well as 100 pairs of shoes.

 

The 39-year-old said of the project: "Typhoon Haiyan has devastated the Philippines, killing thousands and leaving hundreds of thousands homeless."

 

 

She continued: "The British Red Cross is now carrying out an enormous humanitarian relief project to help all those people in desperate need. 

 

"David and I are supporting the Red Cross Shop Drop for the Philippines campaign and we urge everyone in Britain to do the same."

 

 

British Red Cross Director of Fundraising, Mark Astarita, said: "We are delighted to have Victoria and David’s support for the British Red Cross ‘Shop Drop for Philippines’.

 

"Their generous donation will enable us to raise significant funds towards the enormous humanitarian operation currently underway: providing survivors of Typhoon Haiyan with urgent shelter, medical equipment, food and clean water."

 

 

He added: "We know people desperately want to help, but many just don’t have the money to give. ‘Shop Drop for the Philippines’ offers everyone an opportunity to make a difference, either by donating items or by shopping in one of our 330 shops across the UK."
