Prince William is visiting Sheffield today, Tuesday 19 March, to join locals in discussions to end homelessness. The Prince of Wales, 41, is back to work after the first video footage emerged of his wife Kate Middleton after her surgery.
Kate, 42, was seen smiling alongside William during a visit to a farm shop in Windsor, near their Adelaide Cottage home.Today William is in Sheffield, one of six locations for his Homewards initiative, to join families who have experienced homelessness, community representatives and grassroots organisations taking part in a workshop to help design the city’s new housing project.
The future king will unveil Homebase’s pledge of £1 million of support in the form of up to 1,500 home starter packs, which could include paint, furniture, flooring and furnishings to help tenants turn a property into a home.The packs from the retailer, an official Homewards supporter, will be provided to the housing projects created in Homewards’ six flagship areas launched by William last year, and a further Duchy of Cornwall development.
Later today, William will visit the city centre for a meeting of the Homewards Sheffield Local Coalition, which over the past nine months has been working to create an action plan to tackle the housing issues facing the city.
