Soap Stars Get Hands Dirty For Charity

The cream of the north’s soap stars, presenters and sporting heroes are set to make their mark in aid of the anti-bullying movement next week when they place a colourful paint-handprint onto a massive 2.1m x1.5m pane of glass in support of Kingfisher’s ‘Hands Up If You’re Against Bullying’ campaign – an initiative designed to raise awareness of the forthcoming Official Anti-Bullying Week.

The regional and national celebrities, including members of the cast of Emmerdale, Coronation Street and Heartbeat, will be registering their handprint as precursor to the Kirklees National Anti-Bullying Conference (20 –24th November, Galpharm Stadium, Huddersfield), where the celebrity handprints will be on display. Fresh panes of glass-style acrylic will be present at the event for visitors of all ages to take the lead of their celebrity idols and make a pledge against bullying.

The celebrity tour will take place on Monday 6th and Tuesday 7th November at several locations across Yorkshire and Lancashire.
