"In 2014, the couple set up the Murray Parish Trust in memory of their first child, Ella-Jayne, who died at eight months of a congenital heart defect in 2009. Relaunched as Imagine This, it is the only UK charity solely dedicated to supporting the mental wellbeing of ill children and their families; earlier this year the pair received MBEs in recognition of this work."
"Although this image is very idyllic, the first part of our relationship was quite dramatic. It was the early 00s and we were out a lot in Soho, having a great time mostly, but also being fairly tempestuous together. The thing you really love about somebody often becomes the thing you find threatening. While Jim and I were drawn to each other because we're both out-there, sociable characters, we probably tried to tame each other a bit which, funnily enough, didn't work."
Sarah Parish, born in Somerset in 1968, is an actor known for roles in W1A, Industry and Stay Close. She met fellow actor James Murray while working on Cutting It and they married in December 2007. The couple lost their first child, Ella-Jayne, to a congenital heart defect at eight months in 2009 and established the Murray Parish Trust in 2014, later relaunched as Imagine This to support the mental wellbeing of ill children and their families. The charity is the only UK organisation solely dedicated to that mission. The couple live in Hampshire with their daughter Nell. A photograph in Abersoch, north Wales, captures a carefree early holiday from their first year together and recalls an initially tempestuous, sociable period in Soho.
