Charities

As far as we are aware, Isla has never publicly put her name to any specific charities, however, she has donated items to various charitable auctions. Isla seems to lean towards supporting children’s charities, which is no surprise given her love of being a mother!

Children In Need

In 2008 Isla was one of several celebrities who designed a new look for children’s TV character Igglepiggle from ‘In The Night Garden‘, to benefit Children In Need. Each design was framed and auctioned off on Ebay. Children in Need is the BBC’s UK corporate charity, providing grants to projects in the UK which focus on children and young people who are disadvantaged. They support small and large organisations which empower children and extend their life choices.

‘Bundled in Hope’ Toys’R'Us and Save The Children Campaign

In 2009, Save The Children and Toys’R'Us enlisted the help of several celebrity mothers, including Isla Fisher, to design baby blankets to auction off online. Isla created an aquatic-themed baby blanket for the campaign, with bold, under the sea colors, including the deep blues, purples, & greens. All the blankets were auctioned off on Ebay, and proceeds were used to purchase and distribute blankets to children in impoverished areas across the US.

Bundled in Hope is a Toys“R”Us, Inc. philanthropic program to collect funds to help purchase baby blankets for infants in need in America. In 2009, this program will benefit Save the Children, a global humanitarian organization that works to improve the lives of children around the world.

All cash donated at Toys“R”Us and Babies“R”Us stores nationwide, online at Toysrus.com/BundledinHope, and through our baby registry fundraising program, along with 100% of all winning bids from the auction of blankets designed by celebrity moms, will be directed to Save the Children’s U.S. Programs as part of the Bundled in Hope campaign. Save the Children will use funds to purchase baby blankets for children in the most impoverished parts of the United States – such as Appalachia, the Mississippi River Delta, the Gulf Coast, and California’s Central Valley – and provide ongoing support in these regions through a comprehensive early childhood development program. source (pdf)

Isla lent her support to the Jewish Community Centre in London in 2011, by decorating a bra for an online auction in aid of the community and cancer charity CancerKin. More than 40 celebrities took part in this campaign, all decorating bras donated by Triumph. Isla’s bra was typically colourful and sparkly, and was sold with a winning bid of £50. The bras were also displayed at an event at London’s Comedy Store in February that year. JCC creative director Juliet Simmons said: “We’re absolutely thrilled that so many well known names have embraced our Big Bra Auction and have loved seeing how imaginative everyone’s been. We hope to raise lots of money.”
