Prince William made a poignant visit Tuesday morning to witness how a charity, Sporting Chance, is helping the victims of child sexual abuse within soccer.
William visited Sporting Chance in Liphook, England, an organization that specializes in helping professional and former professional athletes with support for a range of issues including addiction, grief, depression and anxiety. William visited in his capacity as president of the Football Association (Fa). The Fa asked Sporting Chance to work with sexual abuse survivors since the reports of abuse within the world of soccer became public last year, because of the organization’s history of working with often-complex issues.
