Prince William Visits St Dunstan’s Training and Rehabilitation Centre
by admin on Feb.24, 2010, under Educational

His Royal Highness Prince William of Wales has shown support for the UK’s blind ex-Service men and women with his attendance at the site of St Dunstan’s new training and rehabilitation Centre in Llandudno, Wales.
The Prince, who is currently serving in the Armed Forces, spent the day meeting some of the ex-Service personnel that the charity supports, trying his hand at a game of blind archery, and sampling a range of equipment and services that will be available at the new St Dunstan’s Centre.
The Prince joined military VIP guest General Sir Richard Dannatt, as well as local dignitaries such as the Mayor of Llandudno & Consort, Mrs Janet Jones, and the High Sheriff, as he visited the site of the new Centre. The Centre will provide state-of-the art rehabilitation, training and respite support for Service men and women from all over the United Kingdom, but particularly those from Wales.
