“A child's mental health is just as important as their physical health and deserves the same quality of support.”

“Actually William wasn't there for quite a bit of the time initially, he wasn't there for Freshers Week, so it did take a bit of time for us to get to know each other but we did become very close friends from quite early.”

“All of us know someone who has been through difficult emotional times, and we know how hard it can be to see a way forward.”

“Around-the-clock support is crucial for children receiving palliative care. They and their families often need help every hour of every day, both in hospices and at home.”

“By far the best dressing up outfit I ever had was a wonderful pair of clown dungarees, which my Granny made.”

“First-class delivery of children's palliative care is life-changing. When families are confronted with the shattering news that their children have a life-limiting condition, their world can fall apart.”

“I don't know if I have a favorite color.”

“I find doing speeches nerve wrecking.”

“I have learned that delivering the best possible palliative care to children is vital, providing children and their families with a place of support, care and enhancement at a time of great need is simply life-changing.”

“I hope we will be able to have a happy family ourselves.”

“I often get asked why I decided to spend time highlighting the mental health of children.”

“I think as any mother would be she was absolutely over the moon. And actually we had quite an awkward situation because I knew and I knew that William had asked my father but I didn't know if my mother knew.”

“I think I know I've been working very hard for the family business, sometimes those days are long days and I think if I know I'm working hard and pulling my weight, both working and playing hard at the same time, I think everyone who I work with can see I am there pulling my weight.”

“I think, the people around home are very supportive to us.”

“I was quite nervous about meeting William's father, but he was very, very welcoming, very friendly, it couldn't have gone easier really for me.”

“I'm still very much Kate.”

“Imagine if everyone was able to help just one child who needs to be listened to, needs to be respected, and needs to be loved - we could make such a huge difference for an entire generation.”

“It is our duty, as parents and as teachers, to give all children the space to build their emotional strength and provide a strong foundation for their future.”

“It's obviously nerve-wracking, because I don't know the ropes really, William is obviously used to it, but I'm willing to learn quickly and work hard.”

“No, I had the Levis guy on my wall, not a picture of William, sorry.”

“There's no one quite like William - I bet he's really kind. You can just tell by looking at him.”

“Together with open conversations and greater understanding, we can ensure that attitudes for mental health change and children receive the support they deserve.”

“We have seen that two heads are better than one when dealing with a mental health problem.”

“Well I think if you really go out with someone for quite a long time you do get to know each other very, very well, you go through the good times, you go through the bad times. You know both personally, but also within a relationship as well.”

“With the right help, children have a good chance of overcoming their issues while they are still young and can have the bright future they deserve.”

“Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.”
