Vaz said, "I am very happy to help Mitch in any way I can with his important campaign to help rehabilitate those most vulnerable in our society."
At the singer's funeral on Tuesday, Mitch Winehouse said that his daughter had "conquered" her drug addiction and had been "trying hard to deal with her drinking."
He added that she had told him of her plans to get sober, saying, "Dad I've had enough, I can't stand the look on your and the family's faces any more," BBC News reports.
Amy Winehouse was found dead in her London home on Saturday, at the age of 27. An autopsy conducted Monday failed to determine a cause of death, and the coroner is looking for toxicology tests, which take several weeks, to provide more information.
The singer's family reportedly believes she died from alcohol withdrawal.
