The document summarizes the work and impact of The Royal Foundation of The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge and Prince Harry over the past year. It focuses on three key areas: veterans and military families, conservation, and children and young people. For each area, it provides updates on current projects and their impact, such as supporting over 1,200 military personnel through the Endeavour Fund and establishing the United for Wildlife initiative to combat illegal wildlife trade. It also introduces a new focus on mental health issues through the Heads Together campaign.

Competitor reaction
Cadbury should develop new products and promote them domestically as well as internationally. Such product/market growth approach will ensure that the company has diversified range of products which are available and well-recognizable in many countries of the world [17] . Such strategic choice will provide the company with enormous comparative advantages over its competitors and will help it to better cope with the hurdles of the global economic crisis.
Most importantly, such strategic step will erase the common stereotype claiming that consumers mostly associate Cadbury with chocolate. Evidently, ‘Chocolate is Cadbury’ marketing approach much facilitated the company’s success over the last decade. However, considering the challenges of the global competitive markets, this strategy will not be suitable any longer. Hence Cadbury should transform it into more powerful and innovative global image.
The variety of new high-quality and reasonably-priced products will add value to the business activity of Cadbury and will win new overseas markets for the company. This task would require the company to carefully design and develop innovative brands of its products which are not yet present on any of the foreign markets, and which will be potentially demanded by the consumers (i.e. target markets) [18] .
While developing innovative products and penetrating overseas markets, Cadbury should initially consider the demand-side of its target markets. Among the most important criteria are the following:
(1) Average income;
(2) Average spending amount on one-time supermarket/store purchasing;
(2) Average amount consumers are ready to spend on chocolates, candies, cookies, and/or sweets;
(3) PESTLE analysis of the target market with the consideration of the adverse affects caused by the global economic meltdown; and
(4) Porter analysis of the targeted market.
Such wide coverage of strategic issues will win Cadbury competitive advantage and increase its share on the foreign markets.
5) Preferred strategy
Cadbury’s choice of the optimal marketing strategy should consider their chances of success in terms of market diversification. To reach optimal market diversification, the company should ensure that its new product adheres to the customers’ needs and preferences. Extensive market research will help Cadbury to explicitly identify its potential target markets for a new product. Herewith, Cadbury’s marketers should consider the following strategic factors:
(1) Financial health of the targeted market;
(2) Purchasing capacity of target market;
(3) National and individual preferences of target market;
(4) Previous experiences of target market in terms of buying and tasting the similar products produced by competitor companies;
(5) SWOT analysis in each individual case will ensure that Cadbury eliminates all the possible constraints to the minimum and transforms the threats into potential opportunities.

Russian anarchist and anti-war movement in the third year of full-scale warAntti Rautiainen
Anarchist group ANA Regensburg hosted my online-presentation on 16th of May 2024, in which I discussed tactics of anti-war activism in Russia, and reasons why the anti-war movement has not been able to make an impact to change the course of events yet. Cases of anarchists repressed for anti-war activities are presented, as well as strategies of support for political prisoners, and modest successes in supporting their struggles.

3. Our goal in creating this Foundation has always been to make a difference to people’s lives and
to the issues close to our hearts. We do this by working with expert partners – bringing people
together to address challenges and facilitate innovative ways of reaching those in need.
Over the past year, our Foundation has made a real impact across all three of our areas of focus
– young people, veterans and conservation; and we’re beginning to do so on mental health, too.
We are proud of our 79 Coach Core young apprentices who graduated last year, and plan to
reach out to more young people through sport by expanding Coach Core across the country.
We never fail to be inspired by the wounded, injured and sick Servicemen and women taking part
in our Endeavour Fund’s physical challenges, and wholeheartedly support their determination to
find meaningful careers in their civilian lives. The Buckingham Palace Declaration signed in May,
under the auspices of our United for Wildlife programme, has brought together the global
transportation sector in a unique collaboration to fight the illegal wildlife trade.
Looking to the future, we are ever more ambitious: through all of our work in recent years,
we have seen first-hand how unresolved mental health challenges lie at the heart of some of our
greatest social challenges. So, through our Foundation, we have launched a new campaign entitled
‘Heads Together’ to change the national conversation on mental wellbeing. The campaign will
build on the existing, invaluable work being carried out across the country by our partner charities
and others. Heads Together aims to ensure everyone feels more comfortable with their everyday
mental wellbeing; that they have the practical tools to support their friends and families through
difficult times; and that stigma no longer stands in the way of people getting the help they need.
None of this work is possible without the extraordinary support of our partners and donors,
for which we are incredibly grateful. We very much look forward to a successful year ahead.

WELCOME
Over the last twelve months, we have seen
The Royal Foundation make a real difference
across each of the core areas of focus identified
by Their Royal Highnesses.
There has been growth in all areas of our
work; from helping veterans find meaningful
employment in a pilot project with the NHS,
to increasing the numbers of palliative care
volunteers so families with a child with a
life-limiting, or life-threatening condition have
more time to spend on the things that matter
to them. We have seen wounded, sick and
injured Servicemen and women fly Spitfire
planes, cross Greenland and row the Atlantic
with the help of the Endeavour Fund. Young
people have been given help and support during
difficult times, but also been given opportunities
to develop their skills and talents, and importantly
become role models for others.
The Royal Foundation has seen our projects
grow from bold ideas to robust projects and
initiatives that can be sustained in the long term,
without compromising their quality. Nowhere
is this more apparent than with the Invictus
Games, and we are thrilled to see a project
that we initiated grow on to develop globally.
United for Wildlife’s Buckingham Palace
Declaration was created in just twelve months
and in this review we highlight how this pioneering
agreement is already making a difference to the
illegal wildlife trade around the world. Together
with our work in engaging young conservationists
internationally, we will ensure this critical work
will continue for generations to come.
‘Heads Together’ marks an exciting new
chapter for The Royal Foundation. Working
with inspiring partners, this innovative new
campaign is tackling stigma, raising awareness,
and providing crucial help for people with mental
health challenges across the country. We are
delighted that Heads Together has been chosen
as the 2017 Virgin Money London Marathon
Charity of the Year and we look forward to
seeing the hundreds of runners hit the streets
of London to help end the stigma surrounding
mental health.
As you will read in this review, by concentrating
our efforts on raising awareness and bringing
together people in partnerships and powerful
alliances, along with seed funding, The Royal
Foundation is making a real impact. Yet, these
impacts are not just numbers; they represent
how the Foundation is making a real difference
to people’s lives on a local, national and
international scale.

7. VETERANS EMPLOYMENT –
VET NETS
Aim
The Royal Foundation is committed to
supporting all those leaving the Armed Forces
in their transition back in to civilian life.
Finding meaningful careers after service plays
an important role in this process.
About
During the 2014 Invictus Games, The Duke of
Cambridge and Prince Harry hosted a round
table with leading UK companies offering to do
more to facilitate the employment of veterans.
Following the meeting, The Royal Foundation
commissioned a comprehensive study to help
identify examples of good practice and lessons
learnt from businesses that had already, or were
considering recruiting ex-Service personnel;
and barriers to the recruitment and smooth
transition of ex-Service personnel. The study
gave recommendations for improvements,
and how to increase the number of employers
recruiting ex-Service personnel into a broader
range of roles.
The Royal Foundation, in partnership with
Business in the Community, is now working with
a group of 23 national businesses to improve the
transition of Service personnel to fulfilling civilian
employment. The aim is to create the capacity
and knowledge within businesses to recruit
Service leavers and support them during their
early transition. Businesses are also keen to
understand how best they can find and help
those who have not had a successful transition
to civilian employment.
The Royal Foundation has also supported Step
Into Health, a programme for Service leavers
to find civilian jobs in the NHS.
Impact
The Step Into Health pilot in Norfolk was
very successful, with a 76 percent success rate,
(converting work experience into full-time
employment). The project is now expanding into
other regions across England and aims to provide
hundreds of work experience placements in 2016.
Future
The Royal Foundation is continuing its work
with the Ministry of Defence to create a
smoother transition to civilian employment.
By ensuring Service leavers are being informed
of opportunities, and are adequately and
appropriately trained, this programme will
provide a blueprint that will be adapted and
replicated across both the corporate and
public sector.

FOCUS ON:
STEP INTO HEALTH
The first access pathway from the military
into the numerous career opportunities
available in the NHS.
Step into Health provides bespoke work
experience packages of up to four weeks
for veterans to explore extensive career
opportunities. Once the work placement
is complete, the candidate has a guaranteed
interview with Europe’s largest employer.
In 2014 Step into Health ran its first pilot
with the Norfolk and Norwich University
Hospital Trust (NNUH), and the programme
looks forward to extending to further
regions across 2016.
Step into Health aim to accommodate
over 300 placements across the new
Trusts in 2016.
63 Service leavers took up the opportunity
for work experience throughout the pilot
phase, resulting in 48 individuals entering
full-time employment as a direct result of
the programme, or further education with
a view to a career in healthcare, such as
a nursing degree.
Step into Health is aiming to provide a
national network accessible to all veterans.
The programme is now expanding to include
Guy’s and St Thomas’, Northumbria,
Hampshire and Sheffield Hospital Trusts.
“Having served on operations in Kosovo and Afghanistan,
the fear is on leaving we will lose a sense of purpose and
the feel of daily operations. Working here gives the best
of all worlds, purpose, unity of effort, tempo and different
challenges daily. The scheme is definitely a two-way
process that would appeal to any service leaver.”

THE ENDEAVOUR FUND
Aim
Supporting the recovery of wounded, injured
and sick Servicemen and women, by helping
them to rediscover their self-belief and fighting
spirit through sport and physical challenges.
About
The Royal Foundation created the Endeavour
Fund in 2012 to offer seed funding for sporting
and adventure challenges, to help new initiatives
with advice, hands-on support and mentoring.
The Endeavour Fund works closely with other
military charities to support many of these
endeavours. These inspiring adventures highlight
not just the activities of the participants, but also
raise awareness of the challenges facing those
who have sacrificed so much in service.
Taking part in an endeavour has a far wider-
reaching impact than simply physical challenges.
The Endeavour Fund aims to support proactive
endeavours that lead to a better onward
transition to civilian life – those that provide
recognised qualifications, work experience
or channels into employment.
Impact
Since its launch in 2012, the Endeavour Fund
has supported more than 1,200 Servicemen
and women on 29 different endeavours from
13 nations with activities ranging across
four continents.
Nine endeavours took place in 2015, including
the first amputee crossing Greenland with
65 Degrees North, Team Endeavour Racing
entering two powerboats at national and
international competitions, Walking With The
Wounded leading a team of UK and US veterans
on a 1,000 mile walk across Britain, a new
training facility opening at Mission Motorsport
and two wounded veterans learning to fly in
the Spitfire Scholarship.
Future
Over the next three years the Endeavour Fund
will focus on seeking out harder-to-reach Service
personnel and veterans, and engage them with
inspirational challenges. Existing Endeavour Fund
alumni will be tasked with reaching out to those
men and women who are still struggling to come
to terms with life after injury, and lacking the
confidence or motivation to put themselves
forward for an endeavour.
Partners
The Endeavour Fund is supported by an
Advisory Board, which includes experienced
adventurers and representatives from Walking
With The Wounded, Row2Recovery and Help
for Heroes. AIG is the Endeavour Fund’s lead
corporate partner.

HENRY WORSLEY
A true inspiration for The Royal Foundation
was Henry Worsley, who tragically died
during his Shackleton Solo expedition on
24 January 2016. Henry undertook his
endeavour in the spirit of Sir Ernest
Shackleton and walked 913 statute miles solo
and unsupported across Antarctica, battling
extreme weather conditions, before
succumbing to serious illness. The Shackleton
Solo expedition has raised over £500,000
for the Endeavour Fund, a truly remarkable
achievement, by a truly remarkable man.

UNITED FOR WILDLIFE
Aim
A long-term commitment to scale up the
response to current conservation crises,
and to engage 15–30 year olds in conservation.
The first crisis selected as a focus for efforts
is the fight against the illegal wildlife trade.
About
United for Wildlife is an unprecedented
collaboration between seven of the largest field
based international conservation organisations
and The Royal Foundation, brought together
by The Royal Foundation. Under The Duke of
Cambridge’s presidency, United for Wildlife has
established five core commitments, which are
linked together by a digital campaign to share
progress and highlight innovation to engage a
younger target audience.
Impact
The Buckingham Palace Declaration was signed
by 45 signatories in March 2016, and contains
eleven commitments, including a zero-tolerance
policy against the illegal wildlife trade. Through its
adoption by the transport sector, this Declaration
and the implementation of key activities including
an intelligence sharing system will help break the
chain between suppliers and consumers of illegal
wildlife products.
After The Duke of Cambridge’s visit to China,
President Xi committed to closing China’s
domestic ivory market. Following his visit,
millions of people watched The Duke’s call for
wildlife protection, which also proved to be
extremely popular on Chinese social media.
Public opinion was positive, for many it was
the first connection of how illegal trade
destroys wildlife. China is one of United for
Wildlife’s many target audiences in its aim
to raise awareness about the implications
of purchasing illegal wildlife products.
United for Wildlife has launched a free online
course to engage with young people and future
conservationists. Introducing Conservation
is a “Massive Online Open Course” aiming to
inspire and connect young people around the
world. Early evaluation shows the course is
well on its way to its target of 10,000 young
people gaining their first qualifications in
conservation each year. There have been site
visitors from 188 countries, with learners
from Tanzania, India, Kenya and Colombia.
United for Wildlife has launched
WILDLABS.NET, a new digital community
network to share and develop technology
solutions for conservation. WILDLABS.NET
is an essential tool in United for Wildlife’s
commitment for better onsite protection
for wildlife.
Future
As part of its commitment to upscale onsite
protection, United for Wildlife is supporting
the Southern African Wildlife College to
expand its specialist tools and training with
the creation of wildlife regional hubs in Eastern
and Southern Africa. This will ensure field
rangers have the skills to stop the increasingly
sophisticated poaching methods used to
obtain rhino horn and elephant ivory, along
with other illegal wildlife products.

“The illegal wildlife trade is
our common enemy. It is a
vicious form of criminality:
plundering the natural
resources of poorer countries,
taking lives, hindering
development and spreading
corruption. Traffickers think
nothing of violating laws
and sovereignty anywhere
they can to exploit a
loophole or turn a profit. And
international cooperation is
our strongest defence against
them. With that in mind,
we must join forces.”

Five commitments...
CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
Private Sector
Engagement
TheTransportTaskforce resulted in the
development and signing of a Declaration
that included eleven commitments from the
Transport sector including a zero-tolerance
policy against the illegal wildlife trade,improved
information sharing and best practice ports.
The private sector engagement is now
focused on supporting implementation
of the commitments and engagement
with other private sectors.
Demand Reduction
For illegal wildlife products,specifically
rhino horn inVietnam and ivory in China and
Thailand.Due to either traditional medicine,
recreational usage or luxury purchases,the
focus is on raising awareness and behaviour
change initiatives for consumers.
Criminal Justice
Response
Delivered in partnership with DLA Piper,
in 2015 activities under this commitment
are now focused on improving training for
law enforcement officers on the ground in
five countries;two inAfrica,two inAsia and
one transit state.This includes advocacy
for stronger legislation on domestic ivory
markets across the world.
Engaging Young People
The launch of a free online course on conservation
will support and inspire a new generation of young
conservationists through providing access to
information and course material.The message of wildlife
crime and conservation was also bought to a new
audience through online games and partnerships,such
as‘We are the Rangers’.
On-site Protection
Ongoing support to the roll out of
SMART including training,capacity
building and technology development
for conservation inAfrica andAsia.
The United forWildlife site-based
initiatives will collectively improve
protection in 230 sites across 39
countries.In 2015,support included
helping to develop regional hubs
for learning and training in Eastern
and SouthernAfrica.

FOCUS ON:
MAKING A DIFFERENCE
IN ONE YEAR
To address how the transport sector can come
together and take responsibility in combating the
illegal wildlife trade.
The Duke of Cambridge announced the
formation of the Transport Taskforce at the
World Bank in December 2014. Chaired by
The Rt Hon. the Lord William Hague, the
Taskforce included high-level leaders from
across the transport industry, intergovernmental
organisations, international conservationists and
organisations working to curb illegal trafficking,
supported by expert legal advice. The Taskforce
identified four key areas where the transport
sector can help combat the illegal wildlife trade:
•• Raising awareness of illegal wildlife trade –
through adopting and publicising a
zero-tolerance policy and working with
customers, clients, passengers and staff
•• Information sharing and detection
•• Practical measures to stop the transportation
of illegal wildlife products
•• New mechanisms tackling illegal wildlife trade.
The Transportation Taskforce signed the
groundbreaking Buckingham Palace Declaration
in March 2016, agreeing to enforce a zero-
tolerance policy that includes to, ‘never
knowingly facilitate or tolerate the carriage of
illegal wildlife or illegal wildlife products.’ This
policy will be included in documents such as
conditions of carriage, employment and client
contracts, as well as in marketing materials.
In addition, the Declaration includes a number
of commitments with a focus on raising
awareness, and to developing and improving
information sharing across the transport sector,
both for staff and members of the public.
Practical measures are also included, such as
notifying relevant law enforcement authorities
of suspicious cargos and refusing to transport
them, and supporting new mechanisms to
aid detection and prevention of the illegal
wildlife trade.
Adopted by the wider transport sector, the
Buckingham Palace Declaration will help break
the chain between suppliers and consumers and
lead to a tangible and significant reduction in
the illegal wildlife trade.
“Cooperation is our greatest
weapon against the poachers
and traffickers who rely on
evading individual national
initiatives. By taking a truly
international approach,
we can get one step ahead
of them.”
The Duke of Cambridge,
World Bank 2014

CONSERVATION AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT
13. ENGAGING THE NEXT
GENERATION FOR
CONSERVATION:
‘WE ARE THE RANGERS’
Aim
United for Wildlife aims to reach the next
generation with conservation messages and use
innovative ways to engage young people through
technology, social media and gaming.
About
United for Wildlife and The Zoological Society
of London worked together to create the
‘We are the Rangers’ conservation themed
Minecraft map. With over 100 million registered
subscribers around the world, Minecraft gives
the perfect platform to entertain, while raising
awareness amongst the traditionally hard-to-
reach 15-30 year olds on the issues facing species
such as elephants and rhinos.
‘We are the Rangers’ brings players into the
African savannah, where they join the Ranger
team and work together to complete quests
based around the issues facing endangered
species such as pangolin, elephants, rhino, and
lions. Challenges include players recovering
stolen ivory and rhino horns.
Impact
Wearetherangers.com has seen visits from
around the world and over 100 submitted a build
for the map in the first stages. Over 25 percent
of traffic is coming from Vietnam and Thailand –
key audiences in our work to reduce demand
for illegal wildlife trade products.
In the six months since launch, the ‘We are the
Rangers’ map was downloaded 60,000 times
in over a hundred countries around the
world. The Minecraft community embraced
the game, and player-created ‘Lets Play’ videos
on YouTube have been viewed in excess of
1.1 million times.

“We’re thrilled to be working
on such innovative projects
to raise young people’s
awareness of the plight of
today’s wildlife. Minecraft’s
strong community ethos and
natural focus on problem
solving mean we’re expecting
great things from ‘We are
the Rangers’.”

14. FULL EFFECT:
PREVENTION OF YOUTH
VIOLENCE IN NOTTINGHAM
Aim
Identifying and supporting young people at risk
of and affected by youth violence in St Ann’s,
Nottingham through a combination of early
intervention, mentorship, and training.
About
Established in 2014 by The Royal Foundation,
the Full Effect project is helping to tackle the
problem of youth violence and gang culture
in Nottingham.
Working in St Ann’s, Full Effect supports
both primary school children, and young
people in their teens and twenties, so
those most hard-to-reach can find support.
For the primary school children, Full Effect
currently provides:
–– a programme of diversionary activities out
of school hours, including sports and creative
workshops, reaching 250 children per week
–– dedicated staff for targeted work with
children at risk provided both in and outside
of school hours.
The older age group are encouraged to develop
into Young Leaders in St Ann’s, inspiring the next
generation to nurture their talents and learn
from others. Furthermore, Full Effect is working
to equip young people with qualifications,
training and work placements to prepare them
for the working world.
Impact
Full Effect was externally evaluated in 2015,
revealing the project is starting to make a
difference and achieve positive outcomes for
the children involved. Full Effect is currently
supporting 28 children intensively who have
been identified as most at risk. A knife crime
resource ‘Secret in the Box’ has been piloted
positively in one primary school with further
roll out planned.
Through Full Effect young people in St Ann’s
continue to develop and stage creative events
which include a rap ballet interpretation called
‘Nott Romeo and Juliet’ in association with the
Birmingham Royal Ballet staged at the Theatre
Royal Nottingham.
FOCUS ON:
SEREN’S STORY, FULL EFFECT
ASSISTANT PROJECT WORKER
I first got involved with Full Effect through my
music and CRS. I was invited to join the film
project Guillemot and it was all very exciting
– brainstorming ideas, story-boarding, doing
drama workshops and camera work. But
after it finished, I had to find paid work and
the only job I could get was door-to-door
charity sales.
At the screening of Guillemot, the sense of
occasion had a really powerful effect on me.
I felt really inspired and it reminded me of my
creativity and passion, and through meeting
Prince Harry I realised the opportunities on
offer through Full Effect. Previously I’d
experienced supporting children and young
people in the community and I wanted to
be part of it.
I soon started a college course, which led to
an interview as an apprentice at Full Effect.
I was so impressed at the variety of the work
the Full Effect Apprenticeship offered. I was
given the space, support and encouragement
to find what projects resonated with me.
I developed lyric-writing workshops for
primary schools. Music is something that I love
and supporting children to build confidence
and be inspired through music is amazing.
I now understand how as a Mentor, I can have
a positive impact on the children I’m working
with. I’m now a permanent Assistant Project
Worker for Full Effect; it’s a role that I feel
both motivated and passionate about and
allows me to develop my areas of interest.
All the projects that Full Effect deliver are
really good quality. This level of care elevates
your sense of pride and self-worth. I would
totally recommend this project if you have
creativity and you need somewhere to channel
it – Full Effect helped me to empower myself,
and also support others.

Full Effect will continue to embed its work
with primary schools and develop mentoring
opportunities for local vulnerable children
and young people.
Additionally, Full Effect is building a network with
Nottingham Academy to enable the continuation
of the support provided to children at risk
through the often challenging transition into
secondary school.
Further creative Full Effect projects such
as a ‘hip opera’ will enable young people
gain skills, qualifications and experience.

Future
A key goal of this programme is to build the
capacity of palliative care organisations across
the UK to work with volunteers on an ongoing
basis. In the next phase, the aim is to build on the
existing palliative care support in three new pilot
site locations: London, Bristol and Coventry/
Warwickshire. Together for Short Lives (TfSL)
will manage multiple delivery partners at the
three pilot sites, which include a hospice
outreach service, an NHS Community Care
Team, and a large children’s hospital. The pilots
will run for 12 to 24 months, and each pilot site
will aim to support 30 families.
A pilot extension of this programme will also
be continuing independently at the East Anglia
Children’s Hospice (EACH) Treehouse facility.
EACH will also aim to roll out the programme
across their hospices in Milton and Quidenham.

PALLIATIVE CARE
Aim
Supporting the families of children with
life-limiting or life-threatening conditions.
About
There are 49,000 children and young people
in the UK with life-limiting or life-threatening
conditions. The day-to-day care of a very sick
child makes everyday life, and care of other
siblings, a challenge for families. Research
shows there is tremendous unlocked potential
to engage local volunteers, who could make
a real difference to these families.
The Royal Foundation and True Colours Trust
co-funded two pilot volunteer schemes at
East Anglia’s Children’s Hospices (EACH) and
Children’s Hospice Association Scotland (CHAS).
Coordinated by Volunteering Matters (formerly
Community Service Volunteers – CSV), this
programme recruited and trained volunteers
to offer practical support, allowing families to
have more time to focus on things that matter
to them and their child with a life-limiting or
life-threatening condition.
Impact
The palliative care volunteer scheme recruited
71 volunteers, and supported 56 families during
an 18-month period. 100 percent of families
reported that having a volunteer increased the
amount of time they had to spend on things
that matter to them, and helped them feel less
pressured or more able to cope. 100 percent
of volunteers recruited said they had a positive
experience of volunteering. Volunteers
undertook a total of 367 visits to families
independently and 39 visits alongside home
care teams.
“When you are living
this kind of life it’s
the little things that
matter and make the
biggest difference.”

16. PREVENTION OF ADDICTION
Aim
To provide early support for children, parents
and families affected by parental drug and
alcohol misuse.
About
There are an estimated three million children
living in households affected by parental
alcohol and/or drug misuse in the UK.
30 percent of children under 16 live with
a binge-drinking parent.
In 2013, The Royal Foundation and Comic Relief
co-funded M-PACT Plus to support children and
their families affected by addiction. The project
brings together the expertise of Action on
Addiction’s M-PACT programme and Place2Be’s
school delivery network.
The M-PACT Plus eight-week intensive course
takes a whole family approach to tackling
addiction. It was piloted in four sites in
Manchester and Sunderland, Harlow and
Islington. Based in primary schools, this
programme provides support for children as
well as their parents, but also raises awareness
of the impact of addiction, drug and alcohol
misuse and the importance of intervening early.
Impact
M-PACT Plus reached staff in 77 schools and
worked with 64 adults and 60 children aged
7-19 years in the initial phase of the pilot. The
programme also provided expert training on
substance misuse and ‘Hidden Harm’ to over
200 of Place2Be’s counselling workforce.
M-PACT Plus has extended the geographical
reach of M-PACT and prior to M-PACT Plus,
none of the children were receiving targeted help
because of parental substance misuse. M-PACT
Plus also provided a gateway to other on-going
support, for example 52 children who attended
M-PACT Plus received one-to-one counselling
before, during or after the course.
Future
There is still a huge stigma that surrounds
addiction. Referring and engaging a family to
complete M-PACT Plus is a complex process,
overcoming a series of emotional and practical
obstacles. Therefore, in the next phase of the
programme M-PACT Plus will continue working
with families across three of the delivery areas
established during the first phase of the pilot
(London, North West, North East), and a
renewed focus will be given to increasing referrals,
improving access, and ensuring high retention of
families through to course completion.
In addition, during the next phase M-PACT Plus
will deliver training for staff drawn from across
100 Place2Be schools, raising awareness and
further embedding knowledge and potential
identification of substance misuse issues, and
referral routes to access support. By taking
a whole school approach to exposing the
challenges of ‘Hidden Harm’ experienced
by children, M-PACT Plus can help create
a lasting legacy where people understand,
feel comfortable and equipped to talk about
parental addiction.

COACH CORE
Aim
Inspiring young people to build a career in
sports coaching, giving them the qualifications,
skills and expertise to be successful and more
employable, whilst also becoming role models
for their students and the wider community.
About
Sport has the potential to transform lives and
engage those who are trapped in poverty and
isolation. Through training, teamwork and
exercise, sport can make an enormous difference
in both personal and educational development.
In a recent report, the Department for Culture,
Media and Sport found that underachieving
young people participating in extra-curricular
sport see an increase in their numeracy skills
of 29 percent. Combine this with high levels
of youth unemployment and the £7.4 billion cost
to the nation associated to medical and mental
health issues linked to inactivity, it results in
a need for a new and innovative approach.
Coach Core is an apprenticeship programme
improving the availability and quality of sports
coaching, whilst creating much needed
employment for young people. Coach Core
increases confidence and enables these young
people to have more belief in their ability to
achieve in the future. The Coach Core programme
offers a range of qualifications, along with its
unique combination of learning through
employment and the classroom, supported by
high-quality mentoring. The focus is on ensuring
trainees progress rapidly and have the skills to
operate in a professional capacity in whichever
career path they choose.

17. Impact
Since The Royal Foundation established Coach
Core in 2012, 79 young people graduated with
qualifications in sports coaching and leadership.
100 percent of Coach Core graduates are in
employment or training. 80 percent are coaching
young people six months after graduation. Coach
Core has a wider impact in the local communities
since every month 1,200 hours of coaching are
delivered by each of the programmes.
Future
Over the next three years, The Royal Foundation’s
goal is to establish Coach Core as a national
programme in ten sites across the UK, building
upon the success in Glasgow and London and
training up to 400 apprentices.

CAIN’S STORY,
COACH CORE APPRENTICE
My name is Cain and I’m 21 years old. Growing
up there wasn’t much to do and I got into
some bad crowds. When I left school, I started
a plastering apprenticeship, but there wasn’t
any support so I didn’t finish it. I got into
martial arts and was at the gym every day,
volunteering in classes. I had so much negative
energy and all I wanted was to win my coach’s
respect. So when I heard that I got a place on
Coach Core, I felt like it would be a really
positive move.
I’m about six weeks into my Coach Core
apprenticeship and can’t believe the support
we have from our tutors, they really care and
really want us to do well. I get to do what I
love every day, meet new people and learn
so many new things. Also, as one of the older
guys in the group, I feel like I should set a good
example to the younger ones. That’s good for
me, it’s teaching me to be a role model.
If I was to work with anyone, it would be young
and troubled kids. Because I’m from a similar
background, I can understand what they’re
going through and I think kids will trust me and
tell me what’s really going on. I want to be to
other kids what my martial arts coach has been
to me. If I didn’t have help from him, I would’ve
got into so much more trouble growing up.
Instead it was the start of my journey into
coaching – and that’s what I want to do now,
I’ve got a focus.
Coach Core has come at a good time for me.
It’s something to channel my energy in a
positive way.

18. HEADS TOGETHER:
THE DUKE AND DUCHESS OF
CAMBRIDGE AND PRINCE HARRY
HAVE LAUNCHED THEIR NEW
CAMPAIGN TO END STIGMA
AROUND MENTAL HEALTH
Heads Together will see Their Royal Highnesses
working in partnership with inspiring
charities to change the national conversation
on mental wellbeing.
The Duke of Cambridge:
“Through our work with young people,
emergency response, homeless charities, and
with veterans, we have seen time and time again
that unresolved mental health problems lie at the
heart of some of our greatest social challenges.”
The Duchess of Cambridge:
“Too often, people feel afraid to admit that
they are struggling with their mental health.
This fear of judgment stops people from getting
the help they need, which can destroy families
and end lives.
Heads Together wants to help everyone feel
much more comfortable with their everyday
mental wellbeing, and to have the practical
tools to support their friends and family.”
Prince Harry:
“The Heads Together campaign wants to involve
all of you. We’re already working with our partner
charities and thousands of people to change the
way that people think about mental health. We
do not want prejudice and fear to stand in the way
of people getting the help they need to cope with
life. As the year progresses, the three of us – and
others who join us along the way – want to come
up with practical ways of providing everyone who
needs help with the right support and care.
We want to build on the great work that
others are already doing, but make it even
more ambitious. By putting our heads together,
we can all make a big difference.”
The Duke of Cambridge:
“But first, Heads Together wants to get people
talking. The more we talk about mental health,
the more normal the topic becomes, and the
more we feel able to open up and seek support.
By asking for help, by telling a friend we have a
problem, by asking someone else how they feel
– by having a conversation – we take the first
step to feeling better about ourselves – and
the first step to being able to cope better with
the ups and downs of life. This is relevant to
everyone. So let’s all get our heads together
and let’s change the conversation, from one
of silence and shame to one of optimism and
support. Thank you for joining us at the start
of this exciting journey.”

“This taskforce will bring together the commitment,
talent and expertise of the technology industry to
tackle cyberbullying and the terrible effect it has on
children. The future of our children is inextricably
linked with the internet. It is our responsibility to
ensure that they grow up confident and happy online
so that they can make the most of the extraordinary
potential it offers.”
Brent Hoberman CBE, Chair ofThe Royal FoundationTaskforce
on the Prevention of Cyberbullying
THE ROYAL FOUNDATION
TASKFORCE ON THE PREVENTION
OF CYBERBULLYING
Over the next year, The Royal Foundation
Taskforce on the Prevention of Cyberbullying
will bring together industry partners and a
group of advisors from the sector to develop
an industry-wide response to the online bullying
of young people, with a focus on 12-14 year
olds. Supported by The Royal Foundation,
the technology entrepreneur Brent Hoberman
CBE will chair this ambitious new project.
Cyberbullying can have a detrimental effect on
the mental health of children and young people.
The effect of technology means the impact of
bullying is instantly multiplied through social
networks, and can feel harder for young people
to escape.
Studies suggest that some 35% of 11-17 year olds
have experienced some form of cyberbullying
during their lives, and 40% have witnessed
cyberbullying within a social network they use.
While most social platforms and service
providers do have systems in place for reporting
or removing abusive content, there is no
common industry standard or commitment to
tackle the issue, nor is there an existing single
source of information for users on how to
address it.
The taskforce will take existing models of
good practice for reporting abusive content
on individual networks and develop a set of
commitments for the industry to adopt and
collectively tackle the issue. The taskforce will
look at developing a single up-to-date resource
providing practical support, advice and
information for those affected by cyberbullying.
It will also work to help parents and adults to
better understand the issue, and give them the
confidence to find appropriate help and resources
to support children affected by cyberbullying.
The taskforce will include leading figures from
technology companies and internet service
providers, and will be supported by a panel of
young people aged 11-15, to ensure it remains
engaged in current online trends.
