Princess Anne will take her hands-on approach to charity out of London and straight to Sheffield on Monday.
The Princess will highlight two essential community projects for families and young children.
First on her agenda is a visit to Save the Children Nursery and Meadows Nursery Baby Bank, where volunteers and staff provide crucial support to children and their parents during the early years.
Anne has been part of the children’s charity world for decades, serving as president of Save the Children from 1970 to 2017 and now its patron. She is known for advocating for programs that ensure children have the safety, health and learning opportunities they deserve.
After the engagement, she will visit Baby Basics UK, a charity that helps families who cannot afford the everyday items needed to care for a baby.
Based on the belief that no family should have to choose between heating their home and buying diapers, they provide everything from clothing and feeding equipment to strollers and beds for children up to five years old.
The Sheffield Baby Basics center works with over 100 referral agencies, including health visitors, social care professionals and midwives.
It has a team of more than 80 volunteers who help sort, pack and provide support.
