On hearing the news, Kate said: “I feel so honoured to have the chance to support this incredible organisation. I can distinctly remember feeling powerless and guilty about the suffering I saw among the street dogs in Sri Lanka.

“It’s a relief to know that someone is out there, reducing the high levels of suffering among these incredible animals – that here in England we treat like family.”

Yasmin Davoodi of WECare, said: “We chose Kate and her work because she’s an animal lover at heart. She genuinely cares about animals and about making a difference in the world, for the better. We’re all honored to have her as an ambassador.”
