Watch the moment Prince William helps furnish a tenant’s flat

  • Prince William personally helped furnish a flat for a housing association tenant in Aberdeen, carrying a dining room chair up three flights of stairs and underscoring his commitment to the Homewards initiative.
  • The Prince of Wales's Homewards project, now in its third year, aims to eradicate homelessness across six UK locations by making it "rare, brief and unrepeated".
  • During a speech at London's Tate Modern , William revealed that “Homewards has helped more than 73 people into stable housing” and “supported more than 250 people into employment” since its launch.
  • The initiative has invested £1.9 million, leveraged an additional £3.5 million through grants and philanthropy, and utilised £2.3 million worth of surplus goods to furnish homes.
  • William also engaged with individuals and organisations involved in Homewards during the event at the art gallery in London, including broadcaster Dean McCullough.
