Prince William launched Ready Together in Ilminster on Tuesday, 6 October 2026. The initiative is intended to help communities across the UK prepare for emergencies. At the launch, William joined volunteers and young people in training involving several emergency scenarios and met members of the Ilminster Resilience Group. [1]
A Kensington Palace spokesperson, quoted by Nieuws.nl, said research suggested that people were willing to help others in an emergency, but fewer felt their communities had plans to respond effectively. The spokesperson said Ready Together aims to turn that willingness into practical preparedness. [1]
The Ilminster Resilience Group has helped residents during severe flooding, Nieuws.nl reported. Actor and documentary maker Ross Kemp, an ambassador for the National Emergencies Trust, accompanied William, who is a patron of the trust. [1]
