Sarah said: βI have been an ambassador for Haig Housing Trust for many years and in that time I have visited wounded soldiers in hospital recuperating from horrific injuries. I have also met many young soldiers who have recovered from these wounds and then started the search for a house and home. The Haig Housing Trust assists these heroes who gave so much to their country and it is my honour to raise the profile of this charity’s amazing work and add to their fundraising.
βI am so happy to donate this money to Haig and Iβd like to thank Endemol for offering such a large sum of money which will benefit so many servicemen and women looking for accommodation.β
Haig Housing CEO James Richardson said: βWe are delighted that Sarah chose Haig as her charity of choice and went on to win the programme. The Β£50,000 is a significant sum that will enable us to continue purchasing and adapting properties for veterans with life changing injuries. Sarah has been a supporter of Haig Housing Trust for a long time and is unwavering in her genuine support and empathy for our beneficiariesβ
