To help reach this target, 20 celebrities have signed a gold porcelain version of the trademark chocolate Lindt bear for an online auction, which will take place in phases on eBay over the course of five weeks.
Singers Tom Jones, Olly Murs, Emma Bunton and Alexandra Burke are also taking part.
Each week, four of the little bears will be added to the auction site in a sale that will last for ten days with 100 per cent of proceeds going to the charity.
As part of the campaign, Jessie J, Emilia Fox, Arlene Phillips and Angela Griffin took part in a photo shoot with renowned fashion photographer Lorenzo Aguis.
