Homewards (The Royal Foundation)
A network of individuals and organisations, committed to demonstrating that together it is possible to end homelessness.
Miles from Lived Insights worked with Groundswell from 2021-2024 as a regional reporter on issues around homelessness. He was selected, alongside another reporter, to invite Prince William to a private podcast event in London in 2023 where the day was spent informally chatting about experiences and situational circumstances on homelessness, to support the development of the vision Prince William had to create his own Organisation – Homewards.
The day was a brilliant opportunity to truly demonstrate the situations people face, often through no individual fault, simply life’s challenges that everyone could face at any time, grief, loss of employment, relationship breakdowns to name just a few.
‘I left that discussion truly feeling heard and believing that the Prince would act on the commitments he shared with us privately’ (Miles)
