Karen, who stars in BBC 1’s Waterloo Road, comments, “It’s great to see people from different backgrounds coming together to support the flood victims in Pakistan. This event is guaranteed to be fabulous, with plenty of entertainment on offer. I’m looking forward to be up on the catwalk! I hope the public support the cause and go out and buy their tickets.”

July 2010 saw severe floods hit Pakistan, which affected close to 15 million people. It is thought to be the worst flood to hit the region for eighty years, causing complete turmoil for the people of Pakistan. Around a fifth of Pakistan’s land has been affected and people are struggling with shortages of food, clean water, shelter and medicine as a result of the flooding. All funds raised will go directly to the DEC appeal and will slowly help re-build the lives of the people in Pakistan.

The evening is an open invitation to all those willing to show their support for the victims of the floods. Every last penny will count towards making a difference. The Flood Disaster Charity Gala hopes to bring everyone together for an extremely worthy cause.
