Laura Hamilton and Danone Actimel on Hunt for Best School Professional

LONDON, April 20, 2011 - Danone Actimel, the probiotic drinking yogurt, has today announced its
search for the UK's best school professional as part of its official
partnership with WellChild, the national charity for sick children.

Danone Actimel is also a key sponsor of the annual WellChild Awards,
taking place in the autumn, and is championing the School Professional Award.
The award is open to anyone working in a school who makes a special effort to
help children with health problems or who actively promotes healthy living.
TV's Dancing on Ice star and WellChild ambassador Laura Hamilton is leading
the charge for driving nominations before the closing date on Wednesday 11
May.

"There's nothing more rewarding than fulfilling my role as a WellChild
ambassador, and it's great to be working with Danone Actimel to campaign for
nominations for the UK's best school professional, recognising the wonderful
work they do every day in schools across the country. There is less than a
month until the closing date on Wednesday 11th May so get those forms in as
quickly as possible at www.WellChild.org.uk to nominate someone you
know that fits the bill!"

Danone is also donating 5p for every charity pack of Actimel sold,
amounting to GBP60,000 in total, enough money to fund a WellChild nurse for
an entire year who could in turn care for up to 50 families.

James King, UK Marketing Manager, Danone Actimel, commented: "Danone
Actimel believes that people of all ages should have the confidence to take
on the challenges they face every day. This is very much in the same spirit
as WellChild who work to give families with sick children the best possible
quality of life. We are extremely proud to be working with such a great cause
and helping them to continue the great work they do."
