“As a longtime (adopted) South Londoner, I know firsthand the critical role which King's College Hospital plays in providing exceptional healthcare and lowering health inequalities in our communities.
"I'm therefore particularly proud to be joining its dedicated partner, King's College Hospital Charity, as a Trustee, and to support its efforts to grow philanthropic income”.
