The fund was set up to allow members of the public who wanted to give William and Kate a wedding gift somewhere to donate money instead.
Ultimately, it raised more than $2 million, distributed to 26 charities chosen by the couple.

At the time of the Royal Wedding the charity operated in just six centers but has now grown to 46 and supports more than 60,000 young people every year by building confidence and opening pathways to future studies and careers.
