Prince William sees life on the other side of the camera lens

Prince William looks at a camera as he takes part in a film workshop in Lambeth

The Prince of Wales has spoken of his pride in his Homewards initiative and the work that it and partner organisations are undertaking to stop homelessness.

Prince William was at Spiral Skills in Lambeth, a youth work charity that helps young people at risk of becoming homeless with skills building and confidence building opportunities.

Spiral Skills is supported by Homewards. During his visit, William heard from some of the young people supported by the charity and met those working there.

He was also shown the brand new youth hub, the Oasis Village. Part of the support from Homewards has been a grant to help revamp the facility.

The money has also helped expand facilities, such as a wellbeing room, and to increase staff support.

We’re used to seeing the Prince of Wales getting involved in the action when he’s on engagements and this was no different. William took part in a film production workshop run by Young Creators UK which is led by young people from groups that are underrepresented in the industry.

William was joined by former footballer, Fara Williams, on the visit to Lambeth.

Homewards was established several years ago to try to bring an end to homelessness. It works across a wide range of areas to support those either already homeless or in danger of being without a permanent place to live. It established six hub areas, including Lambeth, where organisations are receiving funding to help supply the services people need.

It’ the second engagement in as many days for Prince William who spent the previous morning at the WI in Sunningdale with the Princess of Wales.

Kate and William spent time with members of the Women’s Institute to honour the life and work of Queen Elizabeth II on the third anniversary of her death. The late Queen was a devoted member of the WI.

King Charles spent the day at Balmoral, where Elizabeth II died, quietly. He is expected to return to London shortly.
