In July 2004, Styler was appointed national ambassador for UNICEF United Kingdom's End Child Exploitation fundraising appeal. As part of her endless fundraising work for the Rainforest Foundation, she has produced an annual benefit concert at Carnegie Hall for the last ten years, securing the talents of some of the world's most prestigious artists from all musical fields. She has also produced the album "Carnival!" to benefit the Foundation, which debuted at number three in the world music chart.
