Our BBC Lifeline appeal with Richard Hammond

Richard Hammond is to appear on the BBC’s monthly charity appeal programme, to help raise money for The Children’s Trust.

Lifeline will feature Richard’s visit to The Children’s Trust, where he met children in rehabilitation for a brain injury and sat in on a physiotherapy session.

The Top Gear presenter, who sustained a serious brain injury himself in 2006, is vice president of the charity and will be appealing for viewers to support the cause. The appeal will be aired on the afternoon of March 16 on BBC One. The nine-minute film will also feature the story of four-year-old Charlie Berry, who is receiving rehabilitation at The Children’s Trust and an interview with his mum, Anne-Marie.
