Prince William visits Llandudno
Prince William has been in Llandudno to visit a home which will care for blind ex-service people.
St Dunstan's is set to open a centre in Craig y Don next year,and on Monday the 22nd of February the Prince met residents,staff and supporters...he also saw some of the activities that will be on offer,including blind archery.
St Dunstan’s Vice Patron General Sir Richard Dannatt said:
“We are delighted that the Prince has shown his support for St Dunstan’s and has had the opportunity to see firsthand the work we do. Young men and women from our Armed Forces whose sight has been damaged, as well as St Dunstaners who have Served and lost their sight in later life, will benefit hugely from the new Centre.
St Dunstaner Simon Brown said:
“When I was lying in hospital I didn’t know how I was going to cope. But thanks to the support and sense of belonging I received from the St Dunstan’s community, I’ve regained my confidence and am looking forward to a happy and independent future. As I get used to life without sight, it is comforting to know that I will be able to make use of the Centre in nearby Llandudno for my future training and recovery. The new Centre will mean St Dunstan’s will be able to reach out to many more blind veterans, so that they too can look forward to an independent future.”
The Princes' helicopter was going to land at Ysgol John Bright but technical problems meant he had to get to North Wales by train after a previous engagement at Alder Hey Children's hospital.
