Prince William has launched his most ambitious campaign yet to combat the issue of homelessness.
The Prince of Wales has pledged to make a difference to the lives of millions of people affected by homelessness and will travel around Britain Monday and Tuesday to raise awareness about his new five-year campaign, Homewards.
In a speech delivered at the Mosaic Clubhouse in Lambeth Monday, the prince said his hope was to see homelessness decline in Britain over the next five years. “I am pleased to stand here today to officially at the start of our path to ending homelessness,” he said. “Over the next five years, I believe that we have a unique opportunity to develop innovative new solutions and scale tangible impact. This will inspire belief throughout the UK – and beyond – that homelessness can be ended for good.
The Prince also spoke about the lasting impression the visits he made to homeless shelters as a young boy had on him. “My first visit to a homelessness shelter was when I was 11 with my mother. The visits we made left a deep and lasting impression. I met so many extraordinary people and listened to so many heart-breaking personal stories. Too many people have found themselves without a stable and permanent place to call home.
