THE DUCHESS OF CAMBRIDGE EDINBURGH VISIT.
The Duchess of Cambridge, also known as The Countess of Strathearn in Scotland, visited three school based charity projects in Edinburgh on Wednesday 24th February.
The focus of the day is on the valuable partnerships that exist locally between charities, communities and schools to deliver a range of integrated programmes and sporting activities designed to nurture children and young people.
In the morning, Her Royal Highness continued her work in support of the mental health of children with visits to two of her patronages who have a presence in Edinburgh - Place2Be and The Art Room.
Place2Be has been working in Scotland since 2001. The charity now works in 28 schools in some of the most disadvantaged areas of Edinburgh and Glasgow, reaching a school population of 8,000 children. Place2Be is the UK's leading children's mental health charity providing in-school support and expert training to improve the emotional wellbeing of pupils, families, teachers and school staff.
Her Royal Highness joined the school assembly where students sang a song of welcome and presented a Quaich cup of friendship. The Duchess will then join headteachers from schools in Edinburgh for a discussion about the mental health challenges of their school communities, and the benefits of having a partnership with Place2Be.
The Duchess meet children and parents to hear about Place2Be’s work with families, alongside health professionals who have undertaken Place2Be’s training to develop much-needed child counselling expertise.
