By Toni Jones PUBLISHED: 11:51 EST, 23 April 2013 | UPDATED: 17:51 EST, 23 April 2013 While big sister Kate was speaking out about addiction on the Wythenshawe housing estate Pippa Middleton was doing her own bit for charity, albeit a little closer to home. The 29-year-old recently became an ambassador to the Mary Hare School for deaf children in Berkshire and today she was on hand to open the centre's new £2million boarding house facilities. Wearing a smart two-piece boucle suit the duchess's sister posed playfully for the cameras alongside the school's new mascot, a large wicker hare created especially for today's ceremony.
