The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge thanked volunteers

On the occasion of Volunteers’ Week, The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spoke to volunteers in different parts of the country to thank them for their support to their communities. The Duke and Duchess called volunteers from two organisations that rely on their volunteer networks to help run and support their services: Conscious Youth which is based in Kirklees, West Yorkshire, and Machynlleth Community Corona Response in Powys.

In the calls, The Duke and Duchess thanked for the efforts of each volunteer, and those from across the organisations’ wider volunteering networks, made to provide support and services within their communities. The Duke has been working as a volunteer for Shout85258 which is the UK’s first 24/7 crisis text line.

The text line was launched in May 2019 by The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and The Duke and Duchess of Sussex. The Duke is one of more than 2000 Crisis Volunteers who are trained to support anyone, anytime, whatever their crisis may be. Last month, on the occasion of the text line’s first anniversary, The Duke and Duchess spoke to five Shout volunteers via video call.
