The Royal Foundation of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry [1] is the Patrons’ primary charitable vehicle, and hopes to become a leading philanthropic investor, effectively using its time and resources to create lasting change in targeted areas and geographies, based on need and on the interests of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry. The Foundation will seek to invest in, or partner with, organisations with proven impact, using its profile and leverage to create a multiplier effect in resources, outcomes and knowledge. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry will also aim to use their Foundation to respond to other needs and opportunities [2]. In the area of children and young people, the foundation helps them to build their skills, confidence and aspirations. The Full Effect project for instance which is supported by the Foundation is helping to tackle the problem of youth violence and gang culture in Nottingham. Working in particularly deprived areas, Full Effect supports both primary school children, and young people in their teens and twenties, so those most hard-to-reach can access support [3]. |
