The exhibition will display exceptional works from artists in the UK and beyond, sharing pieces inspired by their own or others experiences of homelessness, and will include pieces created by children and young people at a series of creative workshops held across the six flagship Homewards locations. Artists involved include: Dave Martin David Tovey Marc Davenant Opake Rankin Robi Walters Sam D’Cruze Simone Brewster Surfing Sofas as well as artists from the six Homewards locations. Amanda Berry OBE, Chief Executive Officer, The Royal Foundation said: “People need to believe in change for it to happen. Homelessness can feel like it is hard to prevent, but by building understanding of the realities of how it impacts so many we can learn what needs to be done to end it. The exhibition underlines Homewards and The Royal Foundation’s dedication to challenging the long-held perceptions around homelessness. By giving a platform to those with lived experience, we hope to start to shift the narrative and demonstrate that homelessness is not an inevitable part of society. Sincere thanks to our partners, Saatchi Gallery and Eleven Eleven Foundation, for their invaluable support.” Paul Foster, Saatchi Gallery Director says: “Art has the ability to open our eyes to issues. Works by artists with lived experience, and by workshop participants with no art background, remind us that creativity is not dependent on any status in society and that art offers a means for us to understand the challenges facing so many fellow citizens. We’d encourage visitors to approach this exhibition with an open mind and to question any assumptions they might have about those experiencing ‘homelessness”. Wendy Abrams, CEO, Eleven Eleven Foundation says: “Homelessness is a heart wrenching, and complicated problem. Art has the power to make you think, this exhibit was put together to do just that. The exhibition is intended to be an ‘exercise in empathy’, allowing visitors to see things they didn’t see before, or to see them through a different lens.” This special exhibition has been created through a partnership between Homewards, Eleven Eleven Foundation and Saatchi Gallery, under the guidance of creative experts with lived experience of homelessness: writer/director Lorna Tucker and award-winning social justice artist and educator David Tovey. Launched by Prince William last year, Homewards is a five-year programme with the aim of delivering and demonstrating innovative solutions that prevent and end homelessness, creating tried and tested models that can be scaled. Alongside delivering tangible impact in each of its locations, another central aim of Homewards is to improve understanding of and boost optimism around the issue of homelessness. ‘Homelessness: Reframed’ will open at Saatchi Gallery on Wednesday 7th August and run for six weeks until Friday 20th September.

Prince William’s exuberant soccer celebration went viral on social media and sparked some jokes from fans.

The Prince of Wales traveled to Germany to watch England play Switzerland in the quarter-finals of the UEFA Euro 2024 tournament.

England went a goal down in the 75th minute, sparking fears they would be knocked out, not least of all because goals have not come easy for them in the tournament so far.

However, just five minutes later, England equalized, sending fans—including the future king—wild.

Prince William, in his capacity as president of the FA, English soccer’s governing body, was seen screaming with joy and punching the air

The moment sparked jokes on social media and was picked up by the pundits during the BBC coverage of the game. One fan posted the moment to TikTok, in a video which has received over 820,000 views.

Former England player Rio Ferdinand replied: “Love that. Bit of anger there weren’t there?”

One comment on the TikTok clip reflected: “He’s just going though what the rest of England were going through!!!! Doesn’t matter whether he’s royal or not … he’s one of us!!”

Another reply read “guy forgot who he was for a min,” while a third read: “His face before the goal he was stressed out like the rest of us.”

Prince William’s role as president of the FA means he is a regular at England games and often brings Prince George, who turns 11 this month, with him.

However, the young royal, who is second in the line of succession, stayed at home on Saturday.

England won the match, at the Dusseldorf Arena, but only after a nail-biting penalty shoot out, earning themselves a place in the semi-finals.

Prince William wrote on X: “Nail biting to the very end. Well done @England ! Semi-finals here we come! We believe. W.”

Some on social media playfully joked that William looked reminiscent of England’s less respectable fans who are sometimes seen engaging in violence outside the stadiums.

The Twitter account for Matt Lucas, a famous U.K. comedian, wrote: “England let down by hooligan skinhead fans again. Can anyone identify this thug?” in a post viewed over 1.5 million times. Though it should be noted his account says it is run by his staff.
