Prince William wants to be a "disrupter" in the fight against homelessness.

The Prince of Wales visited Newport, South Wales, on Wednesday (20.11.24) as part of his Homewards initiative - which aims to end homelessness by 2028 in six pilot areas - and urged business leaders and charity representatives to throw off the "shackles" of their experiences and look for different approaches.

He is quoted by the Daily Telegraph newspaper as saying: “I say that not to belittle you. But it, how do we break it down, gives you the freedom to think differently and try new things?

“I can be the slight disruptor here and say to you all to think very differently, outside the box, because this is unique, what you’re doing… let’s be really ambitious and almost throw the paperwork up in the air and see how it lands.”
