The Princess of Wales will make two major appearances this week including attending her Christmas Carol Service on Friday

The Princess of Wales has gifted a Christmas tree to TAG Youth, a London-based charity supporting children and young people with disabilities.

The organisation, which operates in the Richmond and Kingston areas, shared the announcement on social media this weekend.


"We are pleased to share that we will be receiving a Christmas Tree from HRH The Princess of Wales," the charity wrote.

Royal fans reacted warmly to the news, with comments including "What a beautiful thing to do" and "Just wonderful, but not surprising."

TAG Youth confirmed that their young people will help decorate the tree upon its delivery.

The charity works with two distinct age groups through its programmes: 'TAG Youth' serves those aged 15 to 25, while 'TAG Juniors' focuses on children between 8 and 14 years old.

TAG Youth provides a safe and engaging environment for those with disabilities or additional needs to socialise and develop life skills.

The organisation extends its support beyond disabled young people, also helping 'TAG Young Carers' - the siblings of those with additional needs.

Their mission centres on creating a stimulating space where participants can meet friends and join in various activities.

The charity offers an extensive range of activities, including archery, climbing, obstacle courses and water sports.

Young participants can enjoy trips to the seaside and access a sensory library as part of the programme.

The organisation provides unique accommodation experiences during weekend excursions, with children having the opportunity to stay in a helicopter or a double-decker bus.

TAG Youth also arranges longer adventures, including an annual snowsports holiday abroad and surfing trips to Wales.
