Like many South Wales valley towns, Blaenavon has had to overcome economic hardship in the last 30 years - and the Hwb aims to help the next generation reach its potential by providing a space for learning and supporting vulnerable young people.

The duke and duchess will also take the opportunity to celebrate an important historical moment as they "plant a tree for the Jubilee" in Blaenavon as part of the Queen's Green Canopy, an initiative created to celebrate the Queen's 70-year reign.
