Her father Mitch confirms...
The Amy Winehouse Foundation will launch on September 14, which also would have been her birthday, the late singer's father Mitch has announced.
In a message on Twitter, Mitch Winehouse said he hoped to foundation could help “turn our friend into positive action”.
“Think of all of the sick and disadvantaged kids we will help in her name,” he added.
Last month, the singer's father had said plans to open the foundation had been delayed because they could not register its name or website domain.
Winehouse died last month and the singer's father first announced plans to open the foundation during his eulogy at her funeral.
