Tomorrow (Thursday 18^th June) the Duchess of Cambridge will lead an online assembly for the Oak National Academy during which she will speak about the importance of mental wellbeing among children. The theme of the Duchess’ assembly is ‘spread a little kindness’.  She will say: 'Talking to someone, whether it's a friend, family member, or teacher, is something you can do to make yourself feel that little bit better. 

'And you can also play your part in helping others to feel better too, whether offering a friendly ear, or helping someone in need. 

'Small acts of kindness can go such a long way. But as we help others, we mustn't forget to nurture ourselves, by taking the time to focus on the things that make us feel happy too.'

As part of the assembly, the Duchess also will join a video call with students from Waterloo Primary Academy in Blackpool, whose parents have been working on the frontline during the coronavirus pandemic.

The assembly will be live on the Oak National Academy website at 11am on Thursday 18 June and can be accessed here:
