Prince William's Homewards programme has partnered with Eleven Eleven Foundation and Saatchi Gallery to launch a groundbreaking exhibition which seeks to utilise the power of art to enhance the UK's understanding of homelessness and ignite hope that it can be ended.

The Prince of Wales founded Homewards in June 2023 as part of his mission to end homelessness and change the narrative and stereotypes around the crisis.

The 'Homelessness: Reframed' exhibition opened at Saatchi Gallery on Wednesday, August 7 and will run until Friday, September 20.

Kensington Palace stated the prince wanted the project to generate new imagery around homelessness and showcase the multiple layers of the crisis including feelings of hope.

Prince William is eager for the public to see the people behind the homeless crisis and the exhibition displays the powerful, emotional and harrowing lived experiences of people who faced different types of homelessness.

Pim Gregory, Executive Director of Homelessness at The Royal Foundation, outlined that the project is spotlighting the many forms of homelessness across the UK.

The Royal Foundation reached out to artists with lived experiences of homelessness who created art for the exhibition that reflected their own and others' experiences of the crisis.

Stories of hope and opportunity feature in the gallery to show what the right support at the right time can do.

Pim Gregory told GB News: "That is a key part of that is changing the narrative around homelessness.

"Raising awareness of the breadth and complexity that is represented in homelessness, the many forms of hidden homelessness.

"But those stories of hope and optimism [show] that the solutions are out there and people with the right support at the right time can find a journey out of homelessness."
