Dorothy House appoints Lizzie Heffer as Ambassador 

Dorothy House is delighted to announce Lizzie Heffer as our newest Ambassador. 

Lizzie has been a passionate supporter of Dorothy House through her involvement in the December 2025 Life Lines Appeal and over the past three years through Strength in Style, helping to amplify our message and connect us with new audiences. Her authenticity, warmth and commitment to our mission make her a natural fit for this role. 

As Ambassador, Lizzie will help the Hospice deepen relationships across our communities, inspire others to understand and support specialist end of life care, and use her exceptional networks to introduce new people to our clinical, therapeutic and bereavement services. 

“Our 10 charity Ambassadors have their own personal stories to tell, but it is their passion for our purpose and vision of a society where death is a part of life, that makes them a vital component of our care. Lizzie’s incredible portfolio of corporate and community connections, alongside her proven passion for our hospice, offers Dorothy House a unique opportunity. We are delighted to welcome her as our Philanthropy and Corporate Ambassador.”
Wayne de Leeuw, CEO, Dorothy House. 

“I’m incredibly proud to be taking on the role of Ambassador for Dorothy House. I’ve seen first-hand the compassion, dignity and care the hospice team provides not only to patients, but to families and loved ones at the most difficult moments of their lives. Dorothy House does extraordinary work across our communities, and I feel deeply connected to its belief that talking openly about death and dying helps us live better, fuller lives. I’m excited to use my voice and networks to help more people understand, support and champion the vital care Dorothy House provides every day.”
Lizzie Heffer, Philanthropy & Corporate Ambassador, Dorothy House.
