Prince William has issued a plea for help for the homeless as he guns for a major change.
The prince is trying to “empower” those who are homeless to realise that “their life matters”, as part of his Homewards project – a five-year campaign aimed at ending homelessness in the UK.
He visited staff at Shelter Scotland’s office in Aberdeen, where he thanked the organisations for their work in supporting rough sleepers.
As part of the project, William is hoping to convince landlords and businesses to give rough sleepers a chance.
“When you’re at your lowest ebb, you believe people don’t care and there’s nowhere to go…but there’s hope.
He continued: “There’s hope, definitely. We’ve got to start changing the narrative.”
The prince wants to eradicate homelessness in six key areas of the country – Aberdeen, Newport, Lambeth, Belfast, Sheffield and three neighbouring Dorset towns of Poole, Bournemouth and Christchurch.
William has claimed that homelessness touches the lives of “far too many people” during his visit to the Scottish city.
