The documentary is executive produced by Mindhouse and Arron Fellows and directed by BAFTA award-winning Director Leo Burley. Before launching on Disney+, “Prince William: We Can End Homelessness,” will debut exclusively in the U.K. on ITV1, ITVX, and STV.
“We Can End Homelessness” follows the first year of Homewards, Prince William’s ambitious five-year program that aims to show it is possible to end homelessness, by working with six locations across the U.K. This series goes behind the scenes as Prince William launches his new initiative, and grants unique access as he sets to work to combat the crisis.
Viewers will see him draw on the guidance of people who have experienced homelessness across a series of moving encounters, and in candid interviews, the Prince shares the inspiration he has taken from the example of his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales. After recruiting his dedicated Homewards team to investigate the issue across the UK, The Prince takes action as he plans to build supported housing on his own land.
THE ROYAL FOUNDATION’S HOMEWARDS PROGRAM
Founded by Prince William and The Royal Foundation in June 2023, Homewards is a transformative, locally led program, that aims to demonstrate that it’s possible to end homelessness, making it rare, brief, and unrepeated. Over five years, Homewards has been working with six flagship locations across the UK, [Aberdeen, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, Lambeth in London, Newport, Northern Ireland, Sheffield] to provide them with the space, tools, and expertise to deliver and demonstrate innovative solutions that can prevent and end homelessness, creating tried and tested models that can be scaled.
Homewards will also raise awareness of the breadth and complexities of homelessness through national campaigns, local storytelling, and by placing those with lived experience at the heart of this work. Inspired by success stories in countries such as Finland and innovative projects in the UK, Homewards will show that by working together we can change the narrative, galvanize momentum, and drive forward lasting change to end homelessness for good.
