Kids Inspire are thrilled to announce that Ruthie Henshall is their new patron.

Ruthie Henshall is a multi-award winning actor who has starred in the most popular musicals of the last 30 years. She has also had tremendous success in plays and TV. She is currently starring as Mrs Wilkinson in the West-End production of Billy Elliot.

Ruthie visited the charity last week and met some of the children attending our holiday Lunch Club.

“I am honoured and delighted to become patron of Kids Inspire.  Every child should have the chance to find the gifts they all possess no matter what their circumstances.  This incredible charity doesn’t give up on the children that have been excluded.  They are our future, let’s give them the chance to have one they deserve.”

“We are very much looking forward to working with Ruthie whom I believe is an excellent role model for our young people.  It is my belief that everybody has a talent, something that they are good at.  At Kids Inspire we help children and young people discover who they really are and all that they are capable of being.  Ruthie is a shining example of how talent, hard work and focus can help overcome life’s challenges and lead to success, fulfilment and happiness.”
