Former TOWIE star Ferne McCann has been announced as the newest official patron of Little Havens Children's Hospice in Essex. The 34-year-old mother of two visited the hospice last year and supported its 'Make Your Mark' Christmas appeal before taking on the role.
McCann, who also attended the Haven's Gala Ball, said: 'I am incredibly proud and excited to become a Patron of Little Havens. After visiting last year, I saw firsthand the incredible work they do. Meeting the amazing staff, children and their families was such a moving experience.'
Little Havens, based in Thundersley and part of Havens Hospices, provides specialist care and support for babies, children, and young people living with complex or incurable conditions. The charity offers free, vital care to families across Essex.
McCann, who has daughters Finty, 2, and Sunday, 8, added: 'As a parent, it really hit home for me. I know just how precious every single moment with your children is. Every family deserves the kind of care and support that Little Havens provides.'
In her patron role, McCann will support fundraising efforts and visit the hospice to spend time with children and families. She previously met five-year-old Clay during a November visit, describing the hospice as 'a warm, welcoming, and fun place'.
