The Princess of Wales opened the Hope Street centre in Southampton

 The Princess of Wales penned a heartwarming message to women in the justice system as she opened a new charity centre founded by her friend Lady Edwina Grosvenor.    The royal, 41, travelled to Hampshire today to unveil Hope Street in the city centre.  Hope Street has been developed by the charity One Small Thing, which was founded by Lady Edwina and provides community-based centres for women in the justice system  

The redeveloped building will house five women who are deemed 'low-risk' after committing a non-violent offence.

The new centre will offer a community alternative for women who would otherwise be imprisoned unnecessarily due to a lack of safe accommodation or concerns around their wellbeing.Read@https://tinyurl.com/2p95bjp8
