The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have marked the first anniversary of Shout UK, the UK’s first 24/7 crisis text line, by speaking to five of the organisation’s Crisis Volunteers about their experience of providing support to the thousands of people who have texted Shout over the past twelve months || May 15,2020.

Shout is a legacy of the Heads Together campaign and was launched in May 2019 by William and Kate together with The Duke and Duchess of Sussex after a £3 million investment from The Royal Foundation. The service is powered by a team of more than 1,800 trained volunteers who stand ready to speak to anyone, whatever their crisis may be, at all times of the day and is free on all major mobile networks.

On May 16th, Shout UK will be taking over KensingtonRoyal ’s Instagram stories to mark their 1st anniversary. [video]
