Lady Gass said: “I was delighted to receive my certificate and badge confirming me as a new patron for Somerset and am looking forward to continuing my fundraising work for the British Red Cross in Somerset."
Operations director Sarah Gibson said: “We are delighted to welcome Lady Gass as our new patron.
"The role of Red Cross Patron is a very important one, acting as a local ambassador for the charity and helping us to raise funds to promote our vision and mission locally.”
