The Prince and Princess of Wales are teaming up with a Norfolk charity to provide mental health support for those living on the Sandringham Estate.

The couple are co-funding a pilot programme with Norfolk and Waveney Mind to provide additional care for rural and farming communities.

It will aim to reach across the 1,500-strong community in north-west Norfolk, with almost half of those living on the royal estate.

Sonja Chilvers, interim chief executive of Norfolk and Waveney Mind, said: “We’re delighted to be working with the Prince and Princess of Wales… and we are keen to see the difference that this pilot will make to local people’s mental health.”
