Just one year ago, Prince William took a huge leap forward in shining a spotlight on the homelessness problem that plagues the UK with the launch of Homewards.The project, which took two years to put together, is a five-year locally led programme which aims to demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it 'rare, brief, and unrepeated'.
