Keeley Hawes talks to World of Difference about UNICEF and Soccer Aid!

UNICEF’s Soccer Aid charity campaign is up and running, with the sporting event set to provide entertainment to millions on Sunday 27th May. We’ve been talking to UNICEF supporter and access Keeley Hawes, who took a trip to Africa recently to make a video for Soccer Aid. Read on to find out what Keeley had to say.

 Before we got the chance to ask Keeley a few questions, we got shown the latest UNICEF video, where the Spooks and Ashes to Ashes star explains exactly what’s going on in Djibouti, Africa:
“There hasn’t been any rain here for the last five years, and things aren’t too good at all. I just wanted to come and see first hand the sort of funds that are needed and what can be done with them.”

Keeley Hawes: The Power To Save Children's Lives!

When UNICEF asked me to get involved with Soccer Aid and suggested I make a film in Djibouti, I must admit I thought, 'where on earth is that?'. Now I can't imagine I'll ever forget the children I met in this tiny East African nation, which has been ravaged by the worst drought in 50 years.

The world's media have focused on neighbouring Somalia, just a few kilometres from where we were. But in Djibouti, away from the cameras, one in every five children is malnourished and suffering terribly from the worst food crisis in decades.

I came back from Djibouti a different person. Since the trip I've followed news of Soccer Aid closely. There's plenty to follow and I am extremely proud that the British Government have pledged their support in helping UNICEF save more children's lives by matching money raised in Soccer Aid 2012 pound for pound.

This will inspire more fundraisers to get involved, because for every pound the public donates, DFID will donate the same, so fundraisers can celebrate their double impact. It's as simple as if you give £5 then children benefit from £10 worth of help.

Donate to UNICEF!

As you all know Keeley has recently visited Africa with the charity UNICEF, whose life-saving work saves children every single day. All donations to this years Soccer Aid will be matched pound for pound by the UK Government, so the more money we donate, the more children UNICEF can help.

While Keeley was in Africa, she spent time in one particular place called Djibouti where a large population of people now live in slums just outside the capital. These people used to live in the more rural areas of Djibouti but the farmers livestock all died of thirst when the rivers and lakes dried up. They then moved to the capital to look for work but due to rising prices of oil, food and rent they could not afford to live in the capital and so this slum became their home.

You can read more about her time in Africa HERE!

Over one million children in the Sahel region of West Africa lack proper food and could die within months. Just £20 could pay for a whole month of lifesaving food for a severely malnourished child!

Stylist Interview: Keeley Hawes

Keeley Hawes is a great deal of fun. She laughs frequently during our meeting – a full, hearty cackle somewhat at odds with her cut-glass tone of voice – and she jokes mischievously about everything in her life from her husband and fellow actor, Matthew Macfadyen’s, height, to motherhood and the London Mayoral elections next week. “I’m team Boris,” she tells me. “I think he’s great. It’s a fun job being the Mayor, and Boris makes it seem like that.”

Keeley's job sounds pretty fun, too. She has played a vast array of characters since she stepped into the limelight and onto our TV screens some 18 years ago, and each role seems more daring than the last. Her latest will be as the mother of the eponymous heroine, Mariah, in the upcoming adventure film, Mariah Mundi and the Midas Box, and it is sure to involve a bit of action.
“I’m not that adventurous, so I’m not sure how it’s happened,” she says, laughing. “But one of the lovely things about what I do is that you can be offered something with rooftop jumps one day and the next it’s a period drama set in the Twenties."

Alex to star in the opener of Doctor Who Series 7?

The Doctor Who team returned to shoot more scenes for the series 7 opener this week.
They have been filming behind closed doors in the studio, however, some Daleks were sighted.
A pic shows the New Paradigm Daleks alongside the Russell T Davies-era models. We knew they were coming back, but it’s good to see some visual evidence.
With Alex Kingston recently back on set, there have also been rumours that River Song might be making an appearance in the opener, as well as episode 5. Perhaps the Daleks be begging for mercy once more?
The next filming block will start shooting soon with the Chris Chibnall-penned fourth episode expected next. New companion Jenna-Louise Coleman will also shoot her very first episode in May.

Upstairs Downstairs Petition!

The BBC have officially confirmed their cancellation of Upstairs Downstairs, however it might not be too late to save it if we all stick together and show the BBC just how much support the programme has. It might not get as many viewers as Downton Abbey, but it has a fantastic cast, good viewing figures and postitive reviews. All we need now is to show that it also has strong support from its fans, then maybe the BBC might consider bringing it back!

We currently have 217 signatures on the petition to save Upstairs Downstairs: PETITION - make sure you sign it and spread the word on twitter, tumblr and facebook so that as many people as possible sign it.

Also make sure you like the 'Save Upstairs Downstairs' facebook page that has been set up in support of the show. You can sign it HERE!

The Telegraph has already noticed the support that the show is recieving from fans. If we continue showing our support, maybe the BBC will notice too :)
