During Prince William’s visit, which coincides with World Suicide Prevention Day, he will meet with some of Jac’s family and friends, including his father Jesse and teammates from Jac’s football team, Ammanford FC, in Carmarthenshire.
Then the Prince will talk to the Welsh Rugby Union and Swansea FC about the role of sport within communities and how they can use their platform to influence better mental health amongst players and fans.
The Jac Lewis Foundation is a charity based in Ammanford, in Carmarthenshire, which was set up to provide access to mental health and wellbeing support in communities across Wales and was founded in memory of Jac.
The organisation aims to ensure that everyone, no matter their age, can access rapid support for mental health and offers other services to help with practical issues relating to housing, finance, training and legal matters.
The new hub in the Principality Stadium is based on the organisation’s existing services which operate at Ammanford FC and Swansea City Football Club.
The Royal Foundation’s partnership will enable the hub in Cardiff to operate for one day per week over three years.
