This evening, we wanted to share this reading by Kate Winslet, which was an inspiring and moving piece, about the importance of reaching out with love and kindness, to connect with others, and to help us all feel that we belong.

This was a beautiful moment in tonight’s Carol Service, ‘Together at Christmas’ at Westminster Abbey, with HRH, @KensingtonRoyal and the Royal family.

A message from Catherine, The Princess of Wales

As the summer comes to an end, I cannot tell you what a relief it is to have finally completed my chemotherapy treatment.

The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family. Life as you know it can change in an instant and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.

The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you.

With humility, it also brings you face to face with your own vulnerabilities in a way you have never considered before, and with that, a new perspective on everything.

This time has above all reminded William and me to reflect and be grateful for the simple yet important things in life, which so many of us often take for granted. Of simply loving and being loved.

Doing what I can to stay cancer free is now my focus. Although I have finished chemotherapy, my path to healing and full recovery is long and I must continue to take each day as it comes.

I am however looking forward to being back at work and undertaking a few more public engagements in the coming months when I can.

Despite all that has gone before I enter this new phase of recovery with a renewed sense of hope and appreciation of life.

William and I are so grateful for the support we have received and have drawn great strength from all those who are helping us at this time. Everyone’s kindness, empathy and compassion has been truly humbling.

To all those who are continuing their own cancer journey – I remain with you, side by side, hand in hand. Out of darkness, can come light, so let that light shine bright.

In the early part of the event (first hour) we'll have some presentations from SLC, SPR and a LCC rep with opportunity ask questions around the community benefit fund and the two options so it will be worthwhile coming early if you can.

Don't worry if you can't make it until later as the remainder of the session will be run as a drop in where information will be available and representatives on hand to discuss and answer any question.

Further opportunity to vote for your preferred option will be posted online.
