Actress Joanna Lumley has accepted an invitation to become the Ambassador for children’s
charity CWS, which works with disadvantaged and marginalised children and their 
communities in Nepal.

The charity works with local partners to help over 30,000 children and young people
in Nepal. This includes those at risk of or who have been trafficked, street children,
those involved in child labour and who live in slum and mountain areas with little
access to education, health or social opportunity.

support of the Nepali Gurkha soldiers and their campaign to secure the right to 
live in the UK.

of the most disadvantaged and marginalised children in Nepal. I hope that my involvement
