We are very fortunate to have enjoyed the support and practical help of so many celebrities from the worlds of sport, entertainment and business throughout the history of our organisation. Our Royal patronage is also something we value hugely.

Every week our ambassadors manage to make room in their busy diaries to assist us with our work and create moments that bring real joy to the children we support, their families and the many guests that attend at our fundraising events. To each and every one of them we say a big thank you!
