Nicola Roberts and Catherine Strickland in Alder Hey

Nicola Roberts revealed how pleased she is to support Alder Hey when she took time out from promoting her album and she visited patients on their cancer unit,

"I am really excited to be fronting the Clothes Throw 2011 campaign! I'm an avid supporter of Alder Hey Imagine Appeal. I visit Alder Hey and the patients there really touch my heart."

The Clothes Throw is in its third year but has been able to expand greatly with the help of Liverpool ONE. Alongside Nicola a host of celebrities and retailers have donated clothes and accessories to raise money for the children's hospital.

Nicola has donated a dress which will be auctioned online at www.theclothesthrow.com alongside items from Michael Buble, Yoko Ono and Dame Helen Mirren. While guest to the Clothes Throw events at Palm Sugar Lounge, Liverpool ONE which takes place from 25th-28th October will be able to bid on Nicole Richie, Sienna Miller and Beyonce's donations. The events will be a series of glitzy catwalk shows and the chance to buy some amazing celebrity clothes.

Nicola explained that anyone can get involved,

"There are three ways you can help with the Alder Hey Clothes Throw: donate clothes, hold your own Clothes Throw party or attend any of the official Clothes Throw events in Liverpool ONE."

People can sign up to hold their own Clothes Throw parties at home, work, or larger venues buying their no longer worn clothes and accessories from each other.

Nicola has also designed a Clothes Throw bag for life which is on sale in the Imagine Appeal office in Alder Hey as well as a licensed £1 with amazing prizes including a Liverpool One to London Fashion Week experience.

Chris Done, Senior Fundraising Manager for Alder Hey Imagine Appeal added,

"To have the support of Nicola Roberts and Liverpool ONE is amazing for us. They are the perfect partners for the Clothes Throw.

We hope lots of people will be signing up to throw their own Clothes Throw parties!"
