Prince William Highlights Centrepoint’s Role in Transforming Lives of Homeless Youth

During a visit to Centrepoint in London, the Prince of Wales marked 20 years as patron of the charity and engaged with young people benefiting from its support.

• Prince William visited Centrepoint’s Ealing center, which provides housing and support for homeless youth aged 16-25, including education and counseling services.
• The Prince participated in activities like table football and boxing, engaging directly with young people to hear their stories of resilience and transformation.
• William praised Centrepoint’s impact as a 'safety net,' emphasizing the importance of early intervention to prevent homelessness and its long-term consequences.
• The visit marked two decades of William’s patronage of Centrepoint, a role inspired by his late mother, Princess Diana, who introduced him to homelessness advocacy as a child.
• Centrepoint is a key partner in William’s Homewards initiative, a five-year program launched in 2023 aiming to end homelessness across six UK locations.
