Mark Knopfler is the newest ambassador for "Streets of London," a charity that raises awareness about homelessness and funds specialist support for London's Homeless. Ellie Goulding, Dan Smith of Bastille, Justin Young of the Vaccines and Ralph McTell are all already ambassadors for the charity.
The Dire Straits frontman shared the news on his Instagram page, writing, “The city can be hard on people who are, for whatever reasons, having difficulties," noting, "It’s important to remember that homelessness isn’t actually necessary. Streets of London is committed to fight it. I’m proud to be an ambassador for Streets of London and to be a supporter of this wonderful cause.”
Knopfler has been supporting the charity already. Earlier this year he donated a signed 2011 Fender Signature Stratocaster to the chrity's #ComeOnHome campaign. The campaign raised over $53,000 (£40,000).
