Celebrity Gives Back: Prince William Working with Centrepoint

Written by Marketing Intern Rose Provine

It is easy to get distracted in all the recent Royal Wedding hype, but don't forget that the United Kingdom's Prince does his fair share of charitable acts.

Prince William has been working with the UK homeless charity, Centrepoint, since 2005. He even hit the streets of London to spend a frigid night outside in order to really understand what it's like to be homeless in his homeland. After the experience, the prince explained that "I cannot, after one night, even begin to imagine what it must be like to sleep rough on London's streets night after night. Poverty, mental illness, drug and alcohol dependancy and family breakdown cause people to become and then stay homeless."

Anyone can help with poverty. Helping food pantries stock up with food is a very easy place to start! For more information providing ways to help with homelessness, visit http://www.dosomething.org/whatsyourthing/Poverty/Homelessness
