𝐓𝐡𝐞 𝐏𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐨𝐟 𝐖𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐬, Patron of Action for Children, has gifted a “Catherine's Rose” to 𝐇𝐌𝐏 𝐒𝐭𝐲𝐚𝐥'𝐬 𝐦𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐛𝐚𝐛𝐲 𝐮𝐧𝐢𝐭, which was planted in the garden to mark a year since her visit.

The rose was placed at the facility on Wednesday, 11th February by Action for Children staff and a mother and child who first met the princess at the women's prison last February.

Amanda Taylor, Operational Director of children’s services at Action for Children said :

❝ We were delighted to plant ‘Catherine’s Rose’ at HMP Styal, one year on from the princess’s visit.

The prison pond and gardens are of huge value to the mothers and babies here, providing children with space to enjoy nature and explore the outdoors, and this new addition will be treasured both by the families we support and staff alike.
