'I am very passionate about supporting charities and giving back to the community to help others. I am therefore a proud ambassador for the Prince's Trust, Kid's Task Force and the Ovarian Cancer charity. In my work for them I have been honoured to support the Princes Trust in the launch of an exclusive lipstick, visited many schools to teach young children my sport of dance for Kid's Task Force, and attended events to raise money for Ovarian Cancer such as the Cupcake break initiated by Oliver Bonas stores. Please share in this with me and learn more about the amazing work they do below' - Kristina Rihanoff
The Prince's Trust
www.princes-trust.org.uk
The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps change young lives. They give practical and financial support, in developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. Ages vary from 13 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law and the Prince's Trust has helped more than 600,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day.
Kid's Task Force
www.kidstaskforce.com
Kid's Task Force is a community interest company which works with the emergency services and other third sector and commercial partners, to create personal safety learning programmes for primary and secondary schools. It was founded by former TV journalist and news presenter Sharon Doughty, who suffered domestic violence and sexual abuse as a child and wanted to change the way important safety information is delivered to children. Their research has shown that the best way to reach as many children as possible is in the classroom, with the teacher delivering safety lessons supported by outside agencies such as the police, fire service and sports coaches.
Ovarian Cancer Charity

The Ovarian Cancer Action Research Centre at Imperial College London is the only UK research facility entirely dedicated to ovarian cancer. Under Professor Hani Gabra's leadership, we aim to build the centre into an international hub for ovarian cancer research, fast-tracking new treatments from bench to bedside.
Other research funding
In addition to funding research within our Research Centre, we also invite applications for funding from other UK research institutions - hospitals and universities. We currently fund ground-breaking research projects at University College London and at Barts and The London
