Prince William<\/a> thinks it is “really important” to “challenge the narrative around homelessness”.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Prince William wants to end homelessness<\/p>\n

The Prince of Wales is passionate about his Homewards initiative, which is setting out to end homelessness in the UK, and a new documentary is set to shine a light on the work he is doing with the project.<\/p>\n

William and wife Catherine, Princess of Wales’ X account shared a preview clip from ‘Prince William<\/a>: We Can End Homelessness’ – which will air on ITV and ITVX soon – in which the prince said: “I think it’s really important that we can try and change and tackle the narrative around homelessness.<\/p>\n

“We see it every day in our lives. That’s something I want to challenge.”<\/p>\n

The documentary will showcase the work William has done with Homewards and also see him meet with a man who used to be homeless, as well as a fire chief.<\/p>\n

\nDirector Leo Burley previously said of the two-part film: \u201cOver the past year, we have spent time following Prince William and The Royal Foundation through the first year of the Homewards program. <\/p>\n

\n“We\u2019ve heard some incredibly moving stories from people across the country facing homelessness.<\/p>\n

\n“From street homelessness in Newport, to families living in temporary accommodation in Sheffield, and youth homelessness in Aberdeen, the documentary paints a picture of homelessness across the UK today, working with many people who never expected to experience life without a place to call home.<\/p>\n

\n“Everyone we\u2019ve filmed with has welcomed the spotlight that Prince William and Homewards are placing on the U.K.\u2019s homelessness crisis.”<\/p>\n

\nWhen the prince launched Homewards in June 2023, it was revealed the initiative would provide \u00a33.8 million to six different locations as part of William’s dream to end homelessness.<\/p>\n

\nHe said in a statement at the time: \u201cIn a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need.<\/p>\n

\n“Through Homewards, I want to make this a reality and over the next five years, give people across the UK hope that homelessness can be prevented when we collaborate.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
