The Palace's official said, "Today, marking Mental Health Awareness Week by opening a new James' Place centre in BIRMINGHAM."

With her passion project, The Royal Foundation Centre for Early Childhood, the Princess of Wales is set to perform a series of meaningful engagements from May 13 to May 14.
Her team said, "The Princess is very much looking forward to visiting Italy next week and seeing first-hand how the Reggio Emilia approach creates environments where nature and loving human relationships come together to support children’s development."
