Great news, he has been named the royal patron, so I think he can merge Centrepoint with the Passage Charity.

I know that Passages was one of the homeless shelters that Diana  took her sons to visit years ago. Seems that it comes full circle now that William is the new patron.

QuoteWilliam has become a royal patron of The Passage today, - the UK's largest resource centre for homeless and insecurely housed people. The charity holds a special place in William's heart, as first visited the centre in 1993 with his mother, Princess Diana. The late Diana visited the charity regularly for over 25 years.William, who was just 11-years-old at the time, explained how visiting the centre made a "deep and lasting impression" on him.

Speaking at The Passage in 2016, William said: ?The visits I made as a child to this place left a deep and lasting impression upon me ? about how important it is to ensure that everyone in our society, especially the poorest, are treated with respect, dignity and kindness, and are given the opportunities to fulfil their potential in life.?

@Princess Cassandra-Yes he only did the sleep out once AFAIK and since then has done the typical engagements that support Centrepoint- Visiting their facilities, fundraising events etc..
I am aware that he makes unannounced and private visits to the organization but I don't know if the sleepout would happen again.

He's been involved with Centrepoint for a long time. No doubt he will involve his children when they much older.

Yes, they all do IMO.  Just this past week a famous TV personality said in a BBC primetime live viewership that he was with William at the Grenfell DIY Construction think that the DOC had participated last year.  The guy mentioned this week that William since then writes letters to various Grenfell people who suffered and are with the scheme of the DIY Construction of homes and facilities.


These are the types of eye openers the public do not get to know, until someone x mentions it.

As patron, the Duke of Cambridge will mark 50 years of Centrepoint during two engagements on Wednesday 13th November. Centrepoint provides homeless young people with accommodation, health support and life skills to get them back into education, training and employment.

Since starting out in the basement of St Anne?s Church in 1969, the organisation has grown to become the UK?s leading youth homelessness charity, supporting over 9,000 homeless young people a year.

His Royal Highness?s first visit of the day will be to Centrepoint?s new Apprenticeship House, which aims to support young people in their journey to independent living.

As part of a wider ambitious programme developing modular housing solutions in London and Manchester to support young people moving on from supported accommodation and into work, the charity has transformed an existing building in south London into a seven bed shared home for young people on apprenticeship programmes. The Duke will visit the house and chat to residents before officially opening the building.

In the evening, His Royal Highness will attend the Centrepoint 50th anniversary gala at the Roundhouse alongside residents of Apprenticeship House who he met earlier in the day. The gala will promote the achievements of individuals supported by Centrepoint, highlight the issues they face and encourage supporters to help change the story for homeless young people.

At the gala, the Duke will meet young people who have been supported Centrepoint before delivering a speech.

The Duke has been Patron of Centrepoint since 2005.

Great to see that the apprentices will now have an affordable housing situation in London as they complete their training.

Mrs. Chris Jackson, Kate's stylist has a hand. A dashing bow tie, dark green velvet jacket, tuxedo pants with a strip, shinny black shoes. He's letting himself step slowly into fashion. 🤓🥳

That is impressive! William is right to express frustration that youth homelessness is still such an issue...but it not just an issue in the UK, and it might be much worse if it weren't for organizations like Centerpoint.
