Jamie Campbell
Trustee
Jamie Campbell grew up in Toronto, the tiny village just outside of Bishop Auckland.
When he was younger he was bullied for his effeminate nature.
No matter how difficult it got he didn’t let the bullies get the better of him.
In 2011 he was the subject of the BBC documentary Jamie: Drag Queen at 16.
The documentary followed Jamie as he discovered his alter-ego Fifi la True and eventually unveiled her at his end of school prom.
The documentary has now been turned in to a hit West end musical Everybody’s Talking about Jamie.
The play inspired a movie by the same name.
