Sir Matthew Bourne's charity Re:Bourne has announced former ballerina Dame Darcey Bussell, diver Tom Daley and comedian/actor David Walliams as new patrons.

The charity was founded in 2008, and acts as a platform for finding and nurturing the next generation of dancers, choreographers and audiences. Bourne commented 'I am very grateful that Darcey, Tom and David have accepted my invitation to become the first patrons of my charity. They are all inspiring and much loved figures who are undoubted role models for young people in the UK today'.
