Hide AdMrs Chowdhury was cheered as she announced Superstar Arts will be one of her chosen charities for her year in office.
She added: “I am really honoured and privileged to be part of this. I can see people filled with energy – I don’t have that energy.”
The charity, which offers meaningful creative projects for young people and adults with learning disabilities from across the county, is hoping to raise £10,000 to celebrate its 10-year anniversary.
It was launched by former teachers Jo Telling and Jo Sullivan and is now based at West Worthing Baptist Church, with a charity shop just down the road in South Street, Tarring.

Hide AdJo Sullivan, chief executive, said: "We have to raise £10,000 every year to keep our charity going, so this is a good way to help, and we would be very grateful."
The charity put out an appeal on Localgiving to help raise sponsorship for the dancers and has been broadcasting a live stream on Facebook to boost the fundraising.
