Sophie has been involved in a variety of charity events since she started modelling, using her star status to help make an impact as regards to fund raising events. The image above, from 2011, shows Sophie modelling one of the TK Maxx/Vivienne Westwood/Comic Relief t-shirts for Red Nose Day.
In more recent years, Sophie's Catwalk work has become rarer - you are more likely to see her on the runway for charity, rather than for regular work. The picture above is Sophie on the catwalk in Dublin in 2002 - a charity fashion show which saw Supermodels and Tennis Stars share the limelight (the likes of Anna Kounikova were there for the start of the Collins Cup the following day). The show was in aid of the Chernobyl Childrens Project. The picture of Sophie in a field is from 1999, with Ms Dahl modelling a Hugo Boss designed dress sponsored by the McLaren Formula 1 Racing Team. An auction selling a limited number of these dresses took place that July. The bottom right picture shows Sophie modelling at a Unicef Fashion Show back in 1997.
Less strenuous charity work can come in the form of turning up for a charity film premiere or a charity gig - the picture below on this page is from Somerset House in London in 2002, where Sophie attended a charity concert by Sir Elton John - each guest paid an undisclosed sum in order to gain entry to the show. The show was in aid of the Absolute Return For Kids charity.
In 1999, she donated a set of 'Kiss Prints' to charity during National Breast Cancer Awareness month - a piece of A4 card with Sophie's lipstick marks on the card along with a signature through the middle of the 'decoration'. In 2003, she also designed a Teddy Bear sized T shirt for auction by the New Life Foundation - the shirt featured her signature across the middle of the shirt. Your webmaster owns both - and images can be seen below.
The above images are of Sophie's RSPCA funding charity T-shirt design from 2005, and the "one off" Anya Hindmarch charity bag - chances are if you are reading this, you probably don't own it! And whilst the image below may seem like a gratuitous FHM style picture, this photocall was in connection with a Breast Cancer fund raising initiative in 1997.
The picture above dates from late 2007, which saw Sophie involved in the "Dogmob" scheme where dog lovers could donate towards the Battersea Dogs Home and in return get wallpapers, screensavers and ringtones downloaded to their phone. And below is the original Xmas wrapping paper design Sophie did for the Katine fundraising project - where celebrities designed Christmas wrapping paper that was given free with "The Guardian Newspaper" in November/December 2008.

Sophie was also offered as a "date" at an auction at Woody's in West London in 2002 (with Mick Jagger the rumoured winner) - the price for an evening with Englands finest? £5000....
