NEWS -

THE PRINCE AND PRINCESS OF WALES ARE LAUNCHING A NEW RURAL MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMME

The Prince and Princess of Wales are funding a new pilot programme with Norfolk and Waveney Mind that will help the rural and farming community on the Sandringham Estate and in the surrounding areas.

The new pilot will provide additional mental health support and hopes to reach members of the 1,500-strong community in northwest Norfolk - around half of whom live on the Sandringham Estate.

The pilot programme will launch in 2025 and last two years. It is hoped it can become a blueprint for sustainable rural mental health funding which could then be rolled out across other estates in the UK.

Kensington Palace said rural isolation and poor mental health are still common problems across the UK.

Sonja Chilvers, interim chief executive of Norfolk and Waveney Mind, said: "We're delighted to be working with the Prince and Princess of Wales, who know our northwest Norfolk communities well, and we are keen to see the difference that this pilot will make to local people's mental health."

Kensington Palace released the BTS moments featuring The Prince of Wales and Hannah Waddingham during their visit to Alexandra Palace, ahead of the premiere of The Earthshot Report (Video Courtesy - Kensington Palace) | 20 DECEMBER 2024

[world-of-wales]

Lmao tell me about it! It’s the same way aristos and di stans have gone on for decades about the spencers being “more royal than the royals” which

a) lol no, absolutely no

b) bold statement to make about what’s essentially a bastard branch

OMFG I KNOW RIGHT! I genuinely cannot with the bs narrative, like I'm sorry but the only thing Spencers ever had going for them was Georgiana Cavendish and then generations later Diana and that's it. And the more royal thing is even more stupid to me? Like how do you do reach that conclusion, pick up any side of the family and it still doesn't work out the way you guys say it does. Also very unrelated but asoif fan?

I'll start posting my month wise review posts tonight for Will & Cat so that they can be done by the end of the year.
