Prince William Visits Northern Ireland to Tackle Youth Homelessness

The Prince of Wales launches initiatives to support young people leaving care as part of his Homewards campaign.

Prince William visited The Foyer in Belfast, a temporary accommodation service for young people experiencing homelessness.
The visit is part of William's Homewards initiative, focusing on preventing homelessness among young people leaving the care system.
In Northern Ireland, about 140 young people leave care annually and present as homeless, highlighting the urgency of the initiative.
William met with young people and practitioners to discuss the challenges and support systems in place for those leaving care.
The Royal Foundation supports Homewards in scaling up projects like the Simon Community's Housing First For Youth service.
