(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Amy Winehouse's London home is to become the headquarters of a charity in her honour.

The singer was found dead in the Camden property last month. Her cause of death won't be known until toxicology tests come back, but her family believe she died of a heart attack or seizure brought on by her decision to quit alcohol in the weeks prior to her death.

Amy battled drug and drink addictions, and her father Mitch has announced plans to set up a rehab programme and charity as a tribute to her. It's now been claimed the Amy Winehouse Foundation will be run from her Camden home. It is separate from the treatment facility plans, but may be involved in projects to get struggling people help.

"They think [the property is] too precious to give up, hence the new HQ idea," a source told British newspaper The Sun.

"They don't want to rent it out and if they sold it they think it could attract the wrong kind of buyer as it was where Amy passed away. They may sell one day but that would be some way off.

"Everyone is united in making it a success - the label, her family, friends and management. Having the offices in her old house is something they all thought made sense. Mitch has big plans and needs a nice environment where employees will be able to carry out their work properly."

The Amy Winehouse Foundation will announce its mission statement on September 14, when the late singer would have celebrated her 28th birthday.

It hopes to raise cash to give to organisations which ask for help, with the first financial injection coming from a charity song. Earlier this week, Tony Bennett announced the track he recorded with Amy, Body And Soul, for his new duets album will be made available early, with all proceeds going to the organisation.

"I couldn't be happier that everyone involved with Amy and this recording felt they wanted to contribute. Amy was so excited to be working with Tony and really looking forward to her fans hearing the song," Mitch explained.

"The fact that Amy's voice sounds as amazing and beautiful as ever and she is singing with the great Tony Bennett seems the most fitting tribute of all at this very difficult time."

Mitch has said the charity will make a "positive difference" and will be involved with this Amy cared about, such as young people with problems or health issues.

Despite her family's claims that Amy was sober at the time of her death, it's been alleged she'd enjoyed wild nights out in the run up to her passing. (C) Cover Media
