In her lifetime she supported more than a hundred of associations. In 1996, she declared she wished to slow down on the number of charities and get more involved only in a few. At the time of her death she was supporting actively 8 associations : American Red Cross, Centrepoint, the English National Ballet, Great Ormond Street Hospital, the Leprosy Mission, the National AIDS Trust, and the Royal Marsden Hospital.
