Prince William is expected to visit Sheffield tomorrow where he will unveil major commitments, secured through The Royal Foundation’s Homewards programme, to prevent homelessness.

The Prince of Wales will meet with local landlords to discuss how they can assist with ending family homelessness within the city and hear about housing commitments they are making to support the Homewards programme.

Last year, Sheffield was announced as one of the locations to benefit from The Royal Foundation’s Homewards Programme. Homewards is a five-year locally led programme launched by Prince William which hopes to show that it is possible to end homelessness.

Speaking last year, Prince William said: “In a modern and progressive society, everyone should have a safe and secure home, be treated with dignity and given the support they need.  

“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.”
