Actress Sinead Moynihan has gone back to the catwalk - but this time it’s to help protect children from abuse. The 26-year-old star began her career as a model when she was spotted 10 years ago by former Take That manager Nigel Martin Smith's agency Nemesis. But this week Sinead, who lives in Radcliffe with her partner and two sons, strutted her stuff once again to raise cash for the NSPCC to fund vital helpline services - two in Manchester and Salford.
She took part in the Feast of Festive Fashion at Harvey Nichols, Manchester, which showcased new fashions presented by designer Jeff Banks. Sinead, who found fame playing schoolgirl turned model Ashley Webb in the BBC's Drop Dead Gorgeous, said: "It is a cause which is really close to my heart.
"I have an eight-week old son, Jacob, and a five-year-old, Dylan. I wanted to do all I could to help.
"I think it’s crucial that children and young people can find help and advice should they ask for it, which is why I am backing the NSPCC’s Child’s Voice Appeal.
"The money raised will make a difference to the lives of children who may be feeling vulnerable, worried or alone.
"I believe that we can all do something to ensure no child’s cry for help goes unheard.
"Just a £1 will help if people cannot afford too much. People can organise fund-raising events in their school to raise more."
Alison Houghton, assistant director of the NSPCC Helpline in Salford, said: "Every day we deal with tragic stories of children who are living in the most heart rending and often dangerous conditions.
"Many of them are so young they are helpless so their only hope is for someone to see how dreadful their lives are and to take action to help save them.
"When they do that we have to make sure we can take calls."

“The money raised really will make a difference to the lives of children who may be feeling vulnerable, worried or alone, and I for one believe that we can all do something to ensure no child’s cry for help goes unheard.”
Sinead, who lives with her partner and two sons, began modelling when she was 16 years old after being scouted by model agency Nemesis. She found fame last year as lead character Ashley Webb in BBC3’s Drop Dead Gorgeous and Beth Clements in Channel 4’s Hollyoaks.

Celebrities including John Henshaw, Jeff Banks, Sinead Moynihan and Corrie’s Debbie Rush attended Manchester’s Strictly ChildLine Ball and helped to raise a massive £32,000 for the NSPCC.
The stars turned out for the glamorous ball at The Lowry Hotel where Jeff Banks hosted an auction and raffle which alone raised an impressive £22,000. This is the sixth year the ChildLine ball has been held in Manchester and the most expensive lot of the night was a surprise donation from Jeff Banks himself which included exclusive hair and make-up by celebrity and royal favourite, Maggie Kent, as well as dinner at The Ivy in London with Jeff Banks and an overnight stay in boutique hotel SoHo.
John Henshaw, who is currently appearing in the Channel Four trilogy, Red Riding, and has appeared in some of the North West’s favourite comedies including Early Doors and The Royle Family, said: “It was a fantastic night and people were massively generous despite the current economic gloom. It was a real eye opener for me to hear more about the NSPCC’s work in Manchester and the north west. Without fantastic events like this the charity would not be able to continue to support so many children and young people – particularly through ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline for adults. I would encourage everyone to give what they can because it all makes a difference for children.”
In keeping with the Strictly Come Dancing theme guests were treated to performances from local dance troupe, Stagecoach Didsbury. The 24-strong cast of dancers who are aged between nine and 16 years performed salsa, Latino and tango routines.
Local businessman Michael Josephson, Buying Director of Altrincham based company Stocks Ltd, was on the organising committee for the ball and said: “I’m so pleased all our hard work paid off and we smashed last year’s total of £25,000. It is so important that we continue to support ChildLine and the NSPCC at the moment because their services are often in greater demand during a recession.
“I would also like to publicly thank all the people and companies who generously donated prizes for our auction and raffle. It really made a difference in enabling us to make such a fantastic amount of money.”
Proceeds from this year’s event will go towards the recently launched Child’s Voice Appeal which aims to raise £2.7m in Greater Manchester so that the NSPCC’s vital helplines – including ChildLine - can answer many more cries for help. The funds will mean that nationally ChildLine volunteers will counsel 500,000 more callers every year and children will be able to choose how they access this help – by it by phone, online or by text.
Angela Capper, fundraising manager for the NSPCC said: “This money really will enhance the support we can offer to children and young people. When a child needs help, ChildLine and the NSPCC Helpline may be their only hope and we are determined that no cry for help goes unanswered.
“We know that children are often more vulnerable to abuse and cruelty when there is an economic downturn because poverty increases family tensions. So the demand for our services could be even greater than normal which means it’s absolutely vital for people to remain as generous as they can.”
Amongst some of the prizes on offer were a luxury £10,000 holiday for two in Zighy Bay, Oman, courtesy of Six Senses Hideaway and Qatar Airlines; exclusive weekend breaks at two of Manchester’s finest hotels; the complete set of limited edition Harry Potter books signed by JK Rowling; and two tickets to attend a 20th Century Fox film premiere in London with passes to the after show party.
