The Patron of Step Up To Serve and the #iwill campaign, HRH The Prince of Wales met young people involved in social action via his first ever Google+ Hangout in November 2014. This was part of the first anniversary celebrations of the campaign.
The Prince of Wales has always been a long-term supporter of action in the service of others; volunteering with Her Majesty's coastguard when at school in Scotland, and giving his first speech on the subject in The House of Lords in 1975. In November 2013, His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales launched an all-party campaign to support and promote youth social action over the next seven years.
The Prince of Wales's Charitable Foundation and The Prince's Charities aim to ensure their work in communities such as Burnley, Tottenham, Redcar and Burslem, would impact and have a ripple effect on the surrounding areas.
