The award-winning charity Trevi said it was delighted that Russell - an award-winning comedian, actor and author has offered his support to their 30th anniversary Blossom Appeal. He will be performing his new live show, 'Bipolarisation' at Plymouth Pavilions on September 22 in aid of Trevi's Blossom Appeal, to raise £50,000 for the charity's new women-only accommodation in Plymouth.

A passionate activist for mental health and drug rehabilitation, Russell was introduced to the charity by an exJasmine resident who attended one of his retreats. She told of the amazing support she received from the charity and how she believed it saved her life.

Russell said: "I'm so pleased to be able to lend my support to Trevi - I've been in awe of the work they do from the minute I was introduced to them through my friend. It's one of the only places in the UK that allows kids to stay whilst they help mothers in recovery literally giving mothers back their children. They provide wonderful safe and nurturing spaces for women in recovery to heal, grow and thrive.
