The Princess Of Wales Visits The Forward Trust

Catherine, Princess of Wales visited The Forward Trust in Southend, England, on 24 September 2026 to mark Addiction Awareness Week. The photographs show her smiling and laughing as she joins a table discussion with those gathered, and taking part in a gardening session during the visit. The Forward Trust supports people as they recover from addiction, with the aim of helping them rebuild their lives. The set also includes earlier coverage from September 2023, when the Princess, as Patron of the charity, visited HMP High Down in Surrey to learn how it supports people in the criminal justice system to manage and recover from addiction.
