The Prince's first stop on Monday was the London borough of Lambeth, where he delivered a passionate speech. "My first visit to a homelessness shelter was when I was 11 with my mother. The visits we made left a deep and lasting impression,""I met so many extraordinary people and listened to so many heart-breaking personal stories. Too many people have found themselves without a stable and permanent place to call home.""This is something that means so much to him, and it meant so much to his mother.
The second location was revealed to be Faithworks Carpentry Workshop in Bournemouth, which provides training for homeless people at St John’s Church in Poole, Dorset.William will announce a further two locations during engagements on Tuesday.
