Both Prince Harry and Ed Sheeran want to ensure that not just today but every day, you look after yourself, your friends and those around you.
There’s no need to suffer in silence – share how you’re feeling, ask how someone is doing and listen for the answer. Be willing to ask for help when you need it and know that we are all in this together. #WMHD

On the final day of their tour of Africa, The Duke and Duchess visited Tembisa, a township in Johannesburg, to meet young entrepreneurs at a hub that helps create opportunity, and is a hive for creativity and social enterprise. Discover more of the visit in our stories.
The Duke said:
•
“It’s moments like today and meeting all of you, that inspires us. Whether supporting young entrepreneurs, empowering women and girls, or challenging the issue of gender-based violence; whether it’s been planting trees, clearing landmines, or protecting the most beautiful creatures and places on the planet, these experiences have affirmed our love of Africa, and the issues that are so important to us.
We will firmly stand up for what we believe. We are fortunate enough to have a position that gives us amazing opportunities, and we want to do all we can to play our part in building a better world.
We will always seek to challenge injustice and to speak out for those who may feel unheard. So no matter your background, your nationality, your age or gender, your sexuality, your physical ability, no matter your circumstance or colour or of your skin – we believe in you, and we intend to spend our entire lives making sure you have the opportunity to succeed – and to change the world.”

This month, in celebrating “community”, we asked you to share your favourite organisation from your neighborhood or around the world. We want to thank everyone who made a suggestion or kindly shared a positive story! We have now updated the accounts we follow for this month to reflect many of your suggestions! Thank you!
These organisations represent the shared value of togetherness – one that The Duke and Duchess experienced so deeply while on tour in Southern Africa.
We asked you to suggest organisations you enjoy volunteering for, ones that make you feel proud to be a part of and ones that put those in need of support, first. These accounts showcase what it means to be a community across all levels of society, working hard toward the goal of ensuring everyone, no matter what your background is, feels a part of something positive.
Thank you again for contributing and shining a light on these accounts – please take a moment to discover these incredible organisations and learn how you can support! •All photos used above are from accounts we are now following•
Today, during #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek, @PublicHealthEngland – in partnership with the NHS – has launched #EveryMindMatters to help people take simple steps to look after their mental health, improve their mental wellbeing and support others.
This is why The Duke and Duchess of Sussex are pleased that they were able to lend their voices to this important campaign. Along with The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge, they are proud to be supporting Every Mind Matters.
This new platform creates personalised action plans – specifically tailored to each person, depending on what they are going through. And because we all know every day is different, you can visit this online portal as many times as you want, to help support you through whatever you may be experiencing.
Every person matters. Every mind matters.
