December is traditionally the month for giving so it's perhaps apt that my guest this month is the founder of a wonderful charity Starlight.

Starlight raises funds for children’s play in healthcare, supporting children to experience the power of play to boost their wellbeing and resilience during illness.

We've supported Starlight here at Highclere for at least 20 years so it was a great pleasure to welcome actress Emma Samms to tell me about how the charity started and the work they do to support sick children.
