Britain’s Prince William is featured in a new documentary series; details here

The Prince of Wales, William, will star in a documentary to show that homelessness can be eradicated.

Following the first year of Prince William’s five-year ‘Homewards’ project, the new two-part ITV documentary, due to be released this autumn, will provide a behind-the-scenes look at the work of various individuals and organisations in six locations across the UK developing bespoke solutions for the homeless, according to a report by Sky News.

The documentary also features several prominent activists and leading individual projects tackling homelessness in the UK.

In a statement on the Homewards website, Prince William stressed the magnitude of the challenge of preventing homelessness and expressed his enthusiasm to work with people across the UK to achieve this goal.

“Preventing homelessness is a big task, but I look forward to working with people across the UK to make our goal a reality,” said William.

Last year, Prince William launched the Homewards project, which aims to combat homelessness in Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, the London Borough of Lambeth, Newport, Northern Ireland and Sheffield.

According to the charity, there are currently 300,000 homeless people in the UK.

Leo Burley, the director of the documentary, which currently has the working title Prince William: We Can End Homelessness, shared his insights from the past year of filming. “Over the past year, we have followed Prince William and the Royal Foundation through the first year of the Homewards programme. We have heard some incredibly moving stories from people across the country who are experiencing homelessness. Everyone we have filmed with has welcomed the spotlight that Prince William and Homewards are shining on the UK’s homelessness crisis,” said Burley.

Amanda Berry, chief executive of the Royal Foundation, stressed the importance of sharing real experiences to inspire action. She said: “By sharing the real experiences of people and those who come together to support them, we can inspire action.”

In addition, Homewards will be collaborating with the Saatchi Gallery in south-west London to launch a new art exhibition. The exhibition will feature works by artists from across the UK inspired by their own or others’ experiences of homelessness.
