William to open new Liverpool centre for men with mental health issues

The Duke of Cambridge will visit business leaders in Liverpool on Tuesday before opening a new centre in the city for men struggling with mental health issues.

William will visit the International Business Festival at the Exhibition Centre on the waterfront, the biggest business festival in the world, hosted every two years in its home city of Liverpool.

The duke will meet delegates, visit exhibitors and speak to young entrepreneurs before giving an address to business leaders.

Afterwards the duke will officially open James' Place, a new centre for men experiencing suicidal crisis in Liverpool.

James' Place has been founded by Clare Milford Haven and Nick

Wentworth-Stanley, after they lost their twenty-one-year-old son, James, to suicide.

The centre will be the first of its kind in the UK, aiming to help save lives and address high male suicide rates by providing face-to-face therapeutic support for men in their time of need.

The centre is run from a house in the heart of Liverpool's historic Georgian Quarter
