The Duchess of Cambridge will host a gala dinner at Buckingham Palace on Monday evening to mark the 25th anniversary of youth mental health charity Place2Be.
The duchess has been a patron of the charity – which aims to provide emotional support to young children and works in 639 schools across the UK – since 2013.
Founded in 1994 by Dame Benny Refson, it has worked with more than 250,0000 children and families over the past 25 years.
She has been a vocal advocate for children’s mental health since becoming a member of the royal family, as well as for adults’ addiction support and mental health services.
In January, Kate launched the “5 Big Questions on the Under-Fives” survey aimed at starting a national conversation on early childhood.
The Place2Be gala is due to commence at 7pm on Monday.
