William volunteering
THE Duke of Cambridge has revealed he has been secretly counselling people contacting a crisis helpline developed by his Royal Foundation.
William’s work with Shout 85258 – a round-theclock text messaging helpline – was announced to mark Volunteers Week. Last month, he and Kate marked the service’s anniversary by speaking to volunteers via video, and William said: “I’m going to share a little secret with you guys, but I’m actually on the platform volunteering.”
