Depaul UK, as part of the Depaul International Group, is delighted to be a Sector Partner for Homewards, a new five-year initiative launched today (Monday 26 June) by Prince William and The Royal Foundation. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Homewards is a nationwide programme that will operate at a local level. It will bring together individual experts, sector partners, and local expertise to find innovative solutions and to demonstrate that together it is possible to end homelessness: making it rare, brief, and unrepeated.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The campaign will launch in six flagship locations across the UK, including Lambeth where Depaul UK will also be a delivery partner.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>It will support local partners to form locally led coalitions of committed individuals, organisations, and businesses. Together, they will create and deliver a tailored plan to prevent homelessness in their areas, based on local needs and local expertise.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>As a sector partner, Depaul UK will work alongside Depaul International and Depaul Ireland to share our frontline expertise within the coalition. As a delivery partner, Depaul UK will work with the local authority in Lambeth to provide innovative and effective solutions to ending homelessness in the borough.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mike Thiedke, Depaul UK\u2019s CEO said: \u201cWe are delighted to be a Sector Partner as part of the Depaul Group and to support the campaign delivery in Lambeth for the Prince of Wales’s new campaign, Homewards.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHomewards will create a unique, never-seen-before, space for the country\u2019s leading experts (the sector, individual professionals, and local people with lived experience) to work collaboratively together, redefining our approach to homelessness, and creating the long-lasting solutions we need to end homelessness for good.\u00a0<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u201cT<\/span>his is a hugely exciting opportunity and important step forward for the homeless sector, but even more crucially, for those affected by homelessness now and in the future.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The Royal Foundation is bringing together an unprecedented network of organisations and individuals, which include:\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  • National Expert Panel:<\/span><\/b> individuals with renowned knowledge of homelessness and related themes, providing best-in-class advice across the programme.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
  • Sector Partners:<\/span><\/b> leading homeless organisations sharing their frontline expertise.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
      \n
    • Activators: <\/span><\/b>organisations from a range of sectors and industries who will contribute skills, resources, and investment to support the locations to deliver the solutions needed to prevent homelessness.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n
    • Advocates: <\/span><\/b>individuals either with lived experience of homelessness or who have worked passionately in this space to make change, to help generate public support and reframe the issue.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      The impact of Homewards will reach beyond the six locations, with results and findings from each location being used to create a flexible, tried, and tested model that can be adopted by other areas in the UK and internationally.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n
