Hollyoaks star Ashley Taylor Dawson has been named the official ambassador for The Empty Shop charity fashion initiative in 2016, which provides shoppers in Manchester Arndale with an outlet to donate 'pre-loved' clothing in support of the city's homeless population.

The campaign hopes to raise awareness and vital funding for homeless charity Mustard Tree. Taylor Dawson commented 'We all have clothing that we don't wear anymore, or was a 'must-have' purchase at the time; then sits there in the wardrobe with the tags still on. The Empty Shop is the perfect opportunity to spring clean your closet and transform someone's life for the better'.
