It is an enormous pleasure to be here at Tedworth House. This place – and what Help for Heroes and its partners have done here – makes Harry and me very, very proud.

When Harry and I, like so many other young men and women, first donned our Help for Heroes wristbands only six years ago, not even we, as servicemen, could have guessed the scale of the challenges ahead. In 2007, the Nation was beginning to wake up to the reality of the debt that it owed its wounded and sick servicemen returning from Iraq and Afghanistan.

The British public’s unprecedented response to the likes of Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion and countless other service charities was a heartfelt response to that sense of debt felt by countless tens of thousands of people – in fact, the whole Nation – who wanted to show support and gratitude.

Through the partnership between many service charities and the Ministry of Defence, it was the Nation who created this state-of-the-art Recovery Centre at Tedworth House and it falls to the Nation – to all of us – to continue to sustain it.

The official opening today of this Recovery Centre does not mark the end of a journey – it marks the beginning. The wounded and sick Servicemen, and their families, who so merit the excellent support that Tedworth House offers begin lifelong journeys when they arrive here – journeys into terrain that can be difficult and challenging but ultimately will be fruitful, thanks to the love and expertise of those who work here and who support this place. ‬‪Those journeys of recovery will be cut short – unforgivably – if we as a Nation unfix our attention.

We must not let the wounded men and women of our Armed Forces down. This official opening is therefore, I hope, as much a renewed pledge by all of us to go on supporting those who have sacrificed so much as it is a celebration of an amazing achievement.‬‪‬‪

This Recovery Centre, and the others around the country, have come about thanks to the tireless efforts of a very diverse group of people: fundraisers, volunteers, many charities, builders and craftsmen, doctors, civil servants, even journalists. You name it, almost every type of profession has contributed in some way. Thank you to all of you. It has also been so gratifying to see the way in which the military and service charities have worked together in genuine partnership and towards a shared goal.‬‪

Finally, those men in lycra over to my side. The Hero Ride finishes in London on 2nd June, and it looks set to be a very fun and visual way of demonstrating of how important adaptive sport is in recovery. Very good luck to all of you.‬‪

And now, with great pride, it falls to me and Harry to declare Tedworth House Recovery Centre officially open. ‬‪

Thank you.‬

Ladies and Gentlemen, good evening.

I would like to pay tribute to John Studzinski, our President, and his fellow American Friends Directors, and the Benefit Committee for all they do to support‬‪ The Royal Foundation and its philanthropy.

Thank you, from William, Catherine and me. You are such an important part of our Foundation family.‬‪ Almost a year ago – on the day before the London Olympics – The Royal Foundation launched Coach Core. This flagship initiative seeks to mentor and train our next generation of truly inspirational young sports coaches.

The aim is that they, themselves, will then become mentors and role models to their peers and further generations over the years ahead.‬‪

We now have pilot schemes running in London and Glasgow in Scotland – and I am delighted to announce that funds raised this evening will support a similar programme to be run in partnership with Harlem RBI here in New York, and potentially others like it.

It is exciting that Harlem RBI’s Project Coach and our Coach Core will be linked in this way, sharing experience and lessons learned to provide opportunity and inspiration to disadvantaged young people here and back home in Britain.‬‪

I visited the project in Harlem this afternoon, and met many of these young people whose lives are being changed through the power of sport. As they learn and grow under the careful guidance of Harlem RBI, they represent living proof of what can be achieved. It was truly uplifting.

So, sport and coaching really does change lives. Who better to tell you this than the young coaches themselves? I am privileged to welcome to the stage Terell Jordan, one of our Foundation’s first Coach Core’s apprentice coaches from the UK, and Robert Saltares, who is already making a real difference to young people’s lives in Harlem.
