We're delighted to share a message from our Royal Patron, HRH The Prince of Wales as we mark the 30th #ICAPCharityDay.

ICAP's support has been integral our work over the past few years, a time when we've needed it more than ever.

More on the PoW's visit to DePaul UK today.

Information about Depaul.

QuoteWe work in local communities across the country to prevent and relieve the impact of homelessness on people?s lives. We prioritise young people, who are among the most vulnerable in society, and especially those who have previously had traumatic experiences. We are passionate about the difference we make.

The Depaul Group was founded in 1989 in response to the growing number of homeless London youth sleeping rough on the streets. Today, Depaul International charities work around the world, going where the need is greatest.

In the UK, we run services in the North East, South Yorkshire, Milton Keynes and Greater Manchester as well as London and the South East. We also manage and accredit the Nightstop Network of community volunteer hosting services, which operates in more than 30 communities around the UK.

NEW: The Prince of Wales will feature in a homelessness appeal for Red Nose Day when it airs this Friday (17th). Prince William spent time with Groundswell, a homelessness organisation, to learn about their work and take part in the special film @comicrelief -

Prince William - who is Patron of @centrepointuk and @PassageCharity - says: "My mother introduced me to the cause of homelessness... I think she would be disappointed that we are no further on in terms of tackling homelessness and preventing it than when she was involved in it."

A food bank run by a Swansea church had all its food and toys stolen over the weekend.

The church was visited by the Prince and Princess of Wales last year, and Rev Steve Bunting told me Kensington Palace called him today to offer their support👇

The Prince of Wales is courting politicians, using official audiences with Michael Gove and Sir Keir Starmer to discuss homelessness.
The heir to the throne is preparing to begin a significant homelessness project in the coming weeks, around the time of his 41st birthday.
While the details remain under wraps, the Prince plans to brief several other politicians about it imminently.

Sally Orlopp, director of Centrepoint's Independent Living Programme, said: ''I've been working with disadvantaged people for over 25 years, and this is the most exciting and innovative programme that has tangible results in transforming young people's lives.

''With the help of M-AR, we have turned 8 units into 33 homes in Peckham, which mean Centrepoint's young people now have comfortable, stylish, efficient and cost effective homes and most importantly the key to their very own front door.

''We have every ambition to create 300 more homes across London and Manchester within the coming year.''

Prince William prepares to launch major homelessness project
The Prince of Wales?s programme, which has been two years in the making, could define his legacy as he follows in his mother?s footsteps


The Prince of Wales has spent weeks courting political support and briefing ministers and civil servants on his plans.
The Prince of Wales is preparing to launch an ambitious homelessness project that could define his legacy.

It came ahead of a career defining moment next week when he will unveil a major, long-term homelessness programme that has been two years in the making.
Royal sources said the new project will demonstrate a modern approach to monarchy that goes beyond ribbon cutting and instead tackles one of the biggest challenges facing society today.
He has spent weeks courting political support and briefing ministers and civil servants on his plans, determined to create legacy and impact.

Those close to him suggest the project could have as big an impact on homelessness as his father's organisation The Prince's Trust has had on the lives of hundreds of thousands of disadvantaged young people.

I understand that Homewards is being modeled after Finland's program which has dramatically reduced the number of homeless in that nation.

Yes, I watched a video of Finland?s approach to homelessness a while ago, and I believe they have had tremendous success in this area. However their programmes require a great deal of govt intervention and supervision in a way that this Tory Govt or indeed any recent British Govt doesn?t appear to want to take on board so I?m not sure that it would work so well in the UK.

Photos from the start of Prince William's tour. At this point in time Northern Ireland is not listed on the itinerary, but there will likely be a visit in the future. The BRF does not typically announce visits to NI in advance for security reasons.

Yes I agree that this initiative will require the backing of the government.

Major changes for the future from heirs to the throne, P Catherine and P William. Both have focused for 10 years on learning about aspects of life that need change. C for families esp small children, W for the homeless.
