Today we are launching #Homewards, a five-year programme committed to demonstrating that it's possible to end homelessness in the UK.
Having a home is more than just bricks and mortar. What does home mean to you?

- What a day! Thank you to all the incredible people we met today at our first three locations on day one of the #Homewards tour. Our six flagship locations will inspire others that homelessness can be ended. A challenge that we're determined to tackle together.
00:00 - Since the exciting launch of #Homewards, we are already seeing the power of collaboration. Already our locations are being connected to businesses for support, & we can’t wait to see what more there is to come. Find out more about our Homewards launch: youtu.be/AsVTBnbFYtA
00:00 - What an afternoon celebrating the community of Newport! Thanks to teachers & children of @maindeeprimary for welcoming Prince William and @gerihaliwell! It was great to hear from you about a school's important role in preventing #homelessness & sharing what "home" means to you!
- Thank you Sheffield! A sporty end to our 2 day UK tour! We saw @TyroneMings & @KensingtonRoyal shoot hoops and heard about the important role sport can play in helping people to feel connected to their communities, which is essential if we want to prevent homelessness. #Homewards
- Coming soon 👀 If we want to end homelessness, we need to improve understanding, encourage empathy & inspire optimism that it’s possible to end it. That’s why #Homewards will launch an art exhibition at the Saatchi Gallery & will also be the subject of an @ITV documentary.
- One year on from our launch, #Homewards has established six Coalitions, created unprecedented partnerships & begun to generate systems change & we're also working to change the narrative on homelessness. This is just the beginning. Watch the full video: youtu.be/qqzkSiOgqOQ
00:00 - Thank you @ebelfastmission for inviting us to see your plans for permanent housing that will help tackle #homelessness. It was great for Prince William to meet the initial partners of the local coalition who are forging a path to end homelessness. #Homewards
- Thank you to everyone who visited & supported Homelessness: Reframed at @saatchi_gallery. Over 47,000 visitors came to see the exhibition that aimed to improve understanding & inspire optimism that homelessness can be ended, this is just the start of our work.
00:00 - We’re working with @homebase_uk who are investing £1 million to provide Home Starter Packs to families and individuals on the brink of and experiencing homelessness. We’re also working with local landlords to provide family homes in Sheffield. Together we can end homelessness.
00:00 - Great to be in Aberdeen today, where they showed us a variety of early intervention services they're offering to the local community, from nursery sessions to NHS services. Prince William even got to join a community cooking class, and a taste of what's on offer! #homewards
- We’re pleased to announce that Prince William: We Can End Homelessness will be streaming on @DisneyPlus. The two-part documentary will be live on @ITV & @ITVX on the 30th & 31st of October at 9pm, and now #DisneyPlus globally on the 1st.
- Today we are recognising a year of #Homewards! We're bringing together partners from across our locations and beyond to reflect on the progress so far & build momentum as we head into year two.
- We’ve been incredibly heartened by the response we’ve had since the #Homewards launch. @faithworksdrst, part of #HomewardsBCP & @BCP_HP have been offered game-changing support. Find out more: bournemouthecho.co.uk/news/23802784.…
