Kate has also been helping others and has taken part in 'check in and chat' calls with those self-isolating or vulnerable as part of the Royal Voluntary Service's NHS Volunteer Responders scheme. Kate and William were pictured calling volunteers from two organisations that rely on their volunteer networks to help run and support their services. During the call, William said: 'It's National Volunteering Week and I want to say a big thank you from both of us.
