British actor Riz Ahmed has been announced as an ambassador for the charity Creative Futures.

Joanne Harris and Matthew Xia join Ahmed as ambassadors, and the trio will support the charity in helping children and young people in achieving 'positive outcomes through arts'. Ahmed commented 'Artistic expression at a young age builds character, bridges, and a belief in the power of your voice - and it is these voices we need to amplify if we are to build an inclusive society that empowers the vulnerable and reflects the aspirations of the next generation. Creative Futures works with top level artists and educators to help make this goal a reality'.
