With a career of hits spanning two decades, including worldwide smash hit, Murder on the Dancefloor – the queen of Kitchen Disco and mother of five has supported many of the charities incentives with visits playing a large part in her ambassadorship.

Her first visit was to India in 2017, where she met with children and families involved in our projects working for equal rights. Since then she has visited children’s centre's in the UK, and most recently in February 2025, Warsaw in Poland. While there Sophie met with children and teenagers who had fled Ukraine with their families and our work there ensures that they can continue their education and follow the Ukrainian school curriculum.  

Speaking about her visit, Sophie said: “It has been an absolute privilege to meet with some of the young people Save the Children supports here in Warsaw. The stories I’ve heard have been truly inspiring. Despite their unimaginable hardship – it’s incredible just how resilient the children are. I was overwhelmed at how excited they were for their futures and just how many of them wanted to make a positive difference to the world around them”.
 

Sophie also continues to support our fundraising campaigns - from performing at our fundraising event ‘Night of Hits’ helping to raise more than £1.24 million, to helping design a jumper for Chinti and Parker as part of our Christmas campaign.
