As a long-standing supporter of Save the Children, Ashley helped launch our first Christmas Jumper Day campaign in 2012 and has continued to stay involved since then. This includes hosting an exclusive school film premiere of our Aardman Shaun the Sheep animation ‘The Knit before Christmas’.
Ashley said: “I’ve been to a fair few premieres throughout my career but this was one of the most special by far. The kids absolutely loved the new Shaun the Sheep animation and they should give themselves a huge pat on the back for all the amazing fundraising they have done for Save the Children’s Christmas Jumper Day. I’ve supported the charity for more than a decade and the work they do, for and with children, has never been more important”.
During her time with us, Ashley has been to Tanzania, India and Greece to see our overseas programmatic work. She met with health workers and learned about the vital need for life saving equipment, medicines and trained midwives to prevent babies dying from preventable causes.
Last year, we were delighted that Ashley hosted our first every Christmas Carol Concert at St Paul's Church in Knightsbridge.
