Mitch Winehouse wants Sarah Harding to represent The Amy Winehouse Foundation

Mitch Winehouse wants Girls Aloud's Sarah Harding to become an ambassador for The Amy Winehouse Foundation. 

The late singer's father has expressed concern for the now red-haired vocalist after she was admitted to rehab earlier this month to seek treatment for "alcohol and depression issues", and explained to The Sun that her experiences would be so powerful as a teaching tool to the young people who look up to her:

"If we could pick Sarah up when she recovers and put her in front of a school assembly to tell those kids the reality of drinking and alcoholism, it would be making a big start. Sarah will be ideal, but all in good time when she has faced her own problems. There might be some kids who actually take notice of what she has to say."
