Harry said: “I am absolutely thrilled to become
a patron for Paces. I have supported the school and charity for a number of years and it’s a place which is very special to me. “I want to do all that I can to support them on
their fundraising journey to build a new school and centre for children and adults with neurological conditions as this will allow them to support up to three times as many families which is just amazing! “I’m very excited to be part of #TeamPaces
and look forward to working with their fantastic children, adults, families and staff.” Spencer Pitfield, Chief Executive of Paces,

continue our ambitious and exciting plans to build a new home so we can support more children, adults and families across Yorkshire in the future.”
