Amy's lasting legacy will be saving children from addiction

She blazed a trail during her rollercoaster life and now, even in death, Amy Winehouse will be changing people's lives.

The foundation set up in the late singer's name will launch a five-year programme tomorrow to take former drug users and alcoholics into schools, giving pupils the chance to talk openly about addiction issues with people who have experienced them first hand.

Amy's father, Mitch, admitted that the decision to start rolling out the programme was born partly from frustration with the government's reluctance to make addiction issues a compulsory part of the national curriculum, something that he feels would have benefited both his daughter and himself.
