Through the night
Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall is to visit ShelterBox HQ in Helston and the WILD Young Parents Project in Falmouth.
The Duchess will be meeting ShelterBox staff and volunteers, thanking them for their work in delivering emergency shelter and life saving supplies to survivors of the Haiti earthquake.
Her Royal Highness's visit comes as ShelterBox marks its tenth anniversary and a decade of providing emergency disaster relief across the globe.
The Prince of Wales and The Duchess of Cornwall were first introduced to ShelterBox while on an official visit to Pakistan in 2006 where they saw the charity's work firsthand.
In the summer of 2007 The Duchess visited ShelterBox's headquarters in Helston, Cornwall, for the first time and later that year agreed to serve as the charity's President and Royal Patron.
Tom Henderson OBE, ShelterBox's Founder and CEO, said: 'We're delighted and honoured to host Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall at our international headquarters.
'This visit is a fantastic accolade for us and recognition of our response not only to the Haitian earthquake, but to people we've helped around the world who've been affected by natural or manmade disasters in the last decade.
'Our staff and volunteers have been working tirelessly to send close to 10,000 ShelterBoxes to people who lost their homes during this tragic earthquake. This is a long-term commitment for ShelterBox and in the coming weeks and months we'll be sending thousands more ShelterBoxes.'
Finally, the pupils of Penrice Community College in St Austell, Cornwall, will give a performance of Hope For Haiti, a song they wrote to raise funds for ShelterBox
Following on from that she will visit parents and volunteers from the WILD Young Parents Project in Falmouth
The WILD Young Parents Project works with young mums and pregnant women under 23 years old and their children.
It offers young mums access to peer support, the opportunity to learn new skills and take part in voluntary work, peer education, issue-based group work, Skills for Life and accreditation courses.
Created in 2006 one of the specific aims of the group is to encourage young parents to be more self reliant.
In 2009 the WILD Young Parents project was presented with The Queen's Award for Voluntary Services.
