Our Patrons
Michelle Collins
In the 21st century, it is ridiculous that so many children in London should find themselves in a Dickensian world of deprivation. What I enjoy so much about AWTF is that it really tries to pass on Allie’s passion for life (the charity’s tag line) to other people.
Michelle Collins is an English actress and TV presenter, best known for her roles in the British soap operas EastEnders and Coronation Street.
Lisa Abrahmsohn
Being involved with AWTF and watching how it has grown from its conception has been so rewarding. Lindsey, who drives it with passion and conviction, is unique and an inspiration to us all – steering us towards the goal of helping as many young people as we can in the challenging world of today and keeping Alexandra’s legacy dignified and relevant.

Juliet Stevenson
As part of the invisible poor in this country, many thousands of London’s children go hungry, have nowhere to play, come from dysfunctional families, suffer abuse, deprivation and neglect. The AWTF, founded and run by the extraordinarily dedicated and resourceful Lindsey Wylie, seeks out such children and brings many kinds of help and support to them. I have been involved with the charity from the outset, and have witnessed the integrity, passion, dedication and efficiency with which it is run. I am really proud to be a patron.
