England Lacrosse has received a letter from our patron, HRH The Princess Royal in light of the COVID-19 virus pandemic.

In the letter, which was delivered to all her charities, organisations and military affiliations, Princess Anne wrote:

“As I have had to postpone my visits for this spring and summer, I did just want to record how much I appreciate the difficulties you all face over the next few weeks and months’.

She went on to write:

“Many of you will have found ways to adapt your skills, which are so important to the organisations you either work or volunteer for, to help in your own isolation or to help others cope better in those many jobs that cannot stop.

“I was planning another charities forum this summer to outline the value of understanding each other’s strengths and achievements as well as the added value of working better together. The next forum will be especially interesting, with many important lessons to be shared.

“I look forward to hearing from you and catching up as soon as possible. Thank you for all you do, wherever you are”.

England Lacrosse would like to extend the Princess’s sentiments to the whole lacrosse community at this particularly challenging time for the sport of lacrosse.
