The Amy Winehouse Foundation, which was created by Winehouse's father Mitch along with family and friends to help a number of causes including providing support for young people, especially those in need due to "ill health, disability, financial disadvantage or addiction", was officially launched yesterday, 14 September.
Mitch said: "I was in New York when I received the terrible news about Amy. It was almost instantaneous, this feeling that we need to help people she cared about. Amy was very generous and we kept coming back to the thought of how much she loved children. It seemed appropriate that the focus of our work should be with young people, those who are vulnerable either through ill health or circumstance. Amy touched millions throughout the world and I know she will continue to, through the foundation."
