Princess Anne visits Westgate Hostel
HRH The Princess Royal visited our Westgate Project on Tuesday 22 February. The Westgate Project is a hostel for young male offenders, run in partnership with the Prison Service.
As well as having a tour of the facility and meeting staff and residents, the Princess unveiled a plaque in the newly named Butler Trust room. This was to commemorate the hostel winning a Butler Trust award in 2009. The Princess is a patron of the Trust.
The Princess was impressed with the work and achievement of Westgate, taking time to speak to offenders about how it was making a difference to their lives. She was also very interested in how restorative justice works within West Yorkshire.
The photo show the Princess with staff and puppeteers from the Wright Stuff arts' project running at Westgate.
