A 12-year-old student who helped raise more than £110,000 for Haven House Children’s Hospice after losing her sister to cancer has received an award in memory of Diana, Princess of Wales.
Isabella Field from Woodford Green is among 20 young people to be recognised by the Diana Award, a charity set up in memory of the late Princess who would have celebrated her 56th birthday on 1 July.
The award recognises young people who have shown selfless determination to help others and aims to encourage more young people to engage in social action.
Haven House left a lasting impact on the family with Isabella, Mel and Steve, together raising more than £110,000 for the hospice in Woodford Green in the past seven years.
Mel Field said: “I am always proud of Isabella’s achievements and awards but this one feels different. Diana, Princess of Wales was an inspirational and beautiful woman, who always put her position and title to good use to help others.
