Suzi Perry becomes Wolves charity ambassador

"I grew up as a Wolves fan and my DNA is very much old gold and black," Suzi Perry said

Television presenter Suzi Perry has become an ambassador for the Wolverhampton Wanderers charity, the Wolves Foundation.

The proud Wulfrunian said she was delighted by the role and was relishing the opportunity to raise awareness of the charity’s wide-ranging work.

“I have been an ambassador for different charities over the years but I also really wanted to get involved with the Foundation because it feels right," she said.

“I want to be able to give back to Wolverhampton and to help wherever I can."

Ms Perry, who was born and educated in the city, said she was a keen advocate of all things Wolverhampton.

She initially became involved with the Molineux Memories group and is now ready to help "tell the stories" and raise awareness of the wide range of Wolves Foundation projects.

'Delivering so much'

“I have watched the Wolves Foundation grow over the years, and have been so impressed with the number of different projects they are now involved in across the city,” she said.

"From mental health projects through to health in general and across the age range from young children to people attending Molineux Memories, they are delivering so much for so many different people.

"Molineux Memories is a group I have a really personal interest in, having found out about it through a friend, delivering a lifeline to people who have dementia and their families."

Head of the foundation, Will Clowes, said: "We are thrilled to welcome Suzi to our team of ambassadors in what is really positive news for Wolves Foundation.

"We know the depth of her passion for Wolves as a lifelong supporter, but on top of that, she has forged an incredibly successful career which can serve as an inspiration for our younger participants."
