British actress Joely Richardson, recognised for her role in the hit US drama Nip/Tuck, has been announced as an official ambassador for The Children's Trust.

Richardson has made several visits to the charity's national rehabilitation centre in Surrey, and commented 'I found The Children's Trust to be one of the most inspirational places I have ever been. It supports children, and also their families, helping them live the best lives possible following a brain injury.... I am sadly aware just how devastating brain injury can be. In 2009 I lost my beloved sister, Natasha, after an accident resulted in a brain injury'.
