Prince Harry was in Nottingham this week supporting BBC Children in Need and made a generous £1.1 million donation.

It’s great to see Children in Need receive fantastic support from the Duke of Sussex, who we had the pleasure of meeting back in 2017 through his partnership with England Rugby.

We are especially pleased as we’ve been funded by Children in Need for six years, allowing us to establish and deliver vital services in two of England’s Young Offender Institutions - Feltham and Werrington.

As part of this partnership, we hosted their team for a roundtable to explore how support for young people in custody could be strengthened and delivered more effectively. 📈

And there are exciting times ahead! 🎊 With Children in Need announcing their membership of the Serious Change Funders Partnership alongside The National Lottery Community Fund, Sport England and Youth Endowment Fund. We are delighted to already be funded by the first 3!
