OH WOW 😮

The Times:

The Prince of Wales is to build and fund a £3 million social housing development on his land to tackle homelessness.

William has overseen plans to construct the 24 homes in Cornwall to be ready next year. They will provide high-quality accommodation in an area with one of the most acute homelessness problems in the UK.

The development in Nansledan, a suburb of Newquay, the Cornish seaside town famous for its surfing, will include a mix of four-bedroom houses and one-bedroom flats.

The duchy, which provides the heir to the throne with an income, recorded profits of £24 million in 2022-23. It will supply the land for the project free of charge and cover all construction costs. It will also invest in local infrastructure, including a bus link and connections to electricity, water and superfast broadband.

The new low-carbon homes will feature slate roofs, granite lintels, solar panels, heat pumps and colourful timber windows. It will be built in a “traditional Cornish seaside” style, designed by Adam Architecture and local firm ALA Architects.

It is understood William wants the development to “look and feel as homely as possible” to combat the stigma of social housing. The site will also be re-landscaped and shrubs and wildflowers planted to encourage biodiversity.

Sources close to William, 41, said he wanted to “lead from the front” and encourage other landowners to build more social housing. He is said to be considering further projects on his land.

The duchy is working on the project with the Cornish homelessness charity St Petrocs with the long-term aim of helping people move from temporary accommodation at Nansledan into permanent homes.

It will provide residents with a range of “wraparound services”, including mental health support, counselling, training and employment opportunities, in what Kensington Palace described as the duchy’s “first innovative housing project to help address homelessness”.

For future local developments, HRH has committed to increasing affordable housing from the 30 per cent national requirement to 40 per cent, with a focus on social housing, meaning an extra 200 affordable houses will be built in Nansledan, where there are 1,020 homes at present.

Last year William, who is patron of the homelessness charities Centrepoint and the Passage, launched Homewards, a five-year initiative to tackle homelessness. It will provide £3 million from the Royal Foundation of the Prince and Princess of Wales — £500,000 to six locations across the UK where groups of housing experts, businesses and councils will work on plans to end homelessness in their areas.

Experts from Homewards will also work on the Nansledan project with the hope that its success can be replicated nationwide, and in the Homewards locations in Northern Ireland, Lambeth, Aberdeen, Newport, Sheffield, and Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole.

Kensington Palace said: “The prince is delighted that the duchy is using the Homewards approach as inspiration for building this innovative housing project, partnering with St Petrocs to find ways of ultimately getting people into permanent housing.

“It is exactly what he wants to do and for him it’s another example that if we can show people here and in other countries what is possible, maybe others will follow our lead. The prince hopes that every town and city in the country will take inspiration from this project.”

During a day of engagements in Cornwall last year, the duke and duchess visited St Petrocs, which works alongside Cornwall council to identify those experiencing homelessness or at risk of becoming homeless.

William was given a copy of the charity’s book People. Project Cornwall which explores the experiences of people with housing difficulties. He was “deeply moved” and arranged for all members of the Prince’s Council, the Duchy of Cornwall’s board, to receive a copy.

Henry Meacock, the charity’s chief executive, said: “Where Prince William is showing great leadership is in wanting change in the approach to prevention and early intervention around homelessness. “We have a unique opportunity in Nansledan with a socially-minded landowner who has a long-term development mindset, demonstrating to the private sector that you can still be commercial and make a profit but also invest in the local community. The focus for us is about breaking the cycle of homelessness and ending it for good.”

The plans for Nansledan will go out for public consultation this month, with work on the development to begin in September. The first homes are due to be complete the following autumn.

The Wales Family in 2023 ♛

So, coronations are less fun than I thought they'd be. Despite that, the coronation gave me some incredibly fun moments, from the Wales family volunteering together to the walkabout on The Mall, from seeing various royal families interacting (including besties Kate and Felipe!) to seeing the Princess of Wales on coronation day itself! In fact, we saw a lot of royal family interaction this year - William and Catherine travelled to Jordan for the wedding of Crown Prince Hussein to Rajwa al Saif, they hosted both the Crown Princely couple of Norway and the Crown Princess couple of Sweden at Windsor Castle, and long-time best buds Catherine and Felipe reunited at the Wimbledon Gentleman's Finals. Sport was another highlight of the year, with the Wales family attending rugby matches (x, x, x), tennis tournaments (x, x, x) and even appearing on a sporting podcast! Both William and Catherine gained several military positions during the year (x, x, x) and have had a go at driving armoured tanks. As well as working with their patronages, William and Catherine have been able to support their own interests. William has continued to promote the Earthshot Prize, and also started Homewards, an anti-homelessness initiative. Catherine, meanwhile, launched the next phase of her early years work with Shaping Us. And in a twist expected by no one, the Princess of Wales finally debuted the Strathmore Rose Tiara. On a personal level, William and Catherine gained a new nephew - little Inigo Middleton - as James and Alizee Middleton welcomed their first child. Next year, I am asking anyone who is listening for a week-long tour (or two!) because they have been sorely lacking this year! If not, I'd love to see William and Catherine continue to flourish in their new roles as Prince and Princess of Wales.

Fear Not This Night - 141 x f!reader poly - Being part of the 141 pack meant you watched out for your boys, always. As their medic, it meant you sometimes flew into danger for them. When someone uses that knowledge against you to separate you from your pack, you pay the price.

Let the Sparks Fly - Simon "Ghost" Riley x f!reader - You meet one of your neighbors in the elevator, and a storm knocks out the power at the worst possible time. At least your neighbor is nice.

Roasting By An Open Fire - Simon "Ghost" Riley x f!reader - You and Simon have a quiet night in. Some teasing and banter turn into something more. SMUT.

Series

Fall Into Me - Fem!OC x various - After the betrayals and the lies, TF141 and certain members of Los Vaqueros start up a private security business and settle down. There’s a lovely coffee shop on the ground floor of the office building they’re in, and it doesn’t take long for bonds to start forming between them and the owner, Rose. 

Listening In - Johnny "Soap" MacTavish x Simon "Ghost" Riley x f!reader - Soap has to work undercover at a restaurant to get info on a target, and meets a waitress he enjoys flustering. He immediately decides he wants to share her with Ghost. Four part mini series, porn then feelings.

Homeward Bound - Simon Riley x f!reader - dragonriders au - As the caretaker of the hatching grounds, you have dealt with almost every rider in the nation. None of them are like Simon Riley. Unfortunately for you, the wyverns of the south aren't letting you get to know him, either.

The Light - Simon Riley x f!reader - A loose fit domestic series, mostly fluff.

Now this is what you call a project launch 💥

In awe of the groundswell the Homewards initiative has already created. William seems to have put in just as much effort into this project as he did with Earthshot. Although this time around the coalition of partnerships is more national in nature, which makes sense given that the project is meant to rectify a national issue.

“Great leaders don’t set out to be a leader, they set out to make a difference. It’s never about the role, it’s always about the goal.” Lisa Haisha

The Prince of Wales visited the Mosaic Clubhouse in London || 26 JUNE 2023

The Prince of Wales’s drive to end homelessness has given charities the confidence to challenge politicians on the issue, experts working on his Homewards project have said.

Six months into the ambitious five-year programme to eradicate homelessness, the Prince’s support has enabled charities to change their own rhetoric and to challenge MPs in a way they have never done before.

Matt Downie, CEO of Crisis, told The Telegraph that the Prince’s involvement had already achieved public and political engagement on a scale “substantively different” to anything done before.

“Having somebody with the megaphone that he’s got and being able to actually articulate the cause in those terms, is something we will never have achieved,” he said.

“What it gives us is the confidence to use that rhetoric. The confidence to challenge Suella Braverman, for example, who said homelessness was a lifestyle choice.

“It’s one thing for a homeless charity to say, ‘Well, of course it isn’t.’ It’s another being able to say the heir to the throne is clear that this is not a lifestyle choice, it can be ended. So the conversation has moved on.”

“What he’s managed to do in one fell swoop is more than our whole sector that has been working on it for decades,” Mr Downie added.

“And that is to talk about ending homelessness rather than managing it and to be really clear that this is a solvable problem. I can’t tell you what that gives us in terms of power.”

He said the initiative had already had such a public impact that it had reframed the way the sector would approach the next government.

“Obviously, we are heading into a general election year and it means that the way in which we will be approaching the potential next government, whichever that might be, is far more aspirational,” he said.

“What we might have been doing previously is saying, ‘We’d like this specific bit of policy changed, or this particular bit of funding increased or whatever,’ but what we’re actually saying is, ‘We now need a full scale plan for the ending of all forms of homelessness.’

“And we can say that with a real sense that it’s not just us out there saying that, it happens to be Prince William as well.”

Local leads, who will coordinate the project at each location, have been chosen and the next steps will be for each to develop their coalitions and create a “concrete plan of action.”

Resources and expertise will be matched in order to devise solutions and move into “delivery mode” and housing-led interventions will be mapped out.

Prof Pete Mackie, an expert in homeless prevention from Cardiff University, said there was huge enthusiasm following the launch event in June.

“Town hall” events that followed in each location were brimming with a “great mix” of people keen to get on board, from the private sector, housing associations, health and criminal justice professionals.

The team was “inundated” with offers from individuals, organisations and businesses to support each of the six locations, Bournemouth, Newport, Aberdeen, Northern Ireland, Sheffield and Lambeth.

The Prince continues to be “really actively involved”, asking for progress updates and checking in with his team at least once a week.

“He’s always asking how he can support the locations and move partners and players along,” Ms Laurence added. “He’s heavily involved.”

“The right wing have twisted the family into something they’re not to fit their “anti woke” agenda. They’re not supposed to care about climate change, Muslims, the homeless, migrants etc. Those are “woke” causes, something only undesirables like Harry and Meghan should be concerned about. Nevertheless, time and time again the BRF prove them wrong. William created Earthshot and the Homewards, Charles has been fighting climate change since before it was popular and is vocal about his dislike for the Rwanda policy, Kate unashamedly wore a hijab to visit a Muslim centre etc. Seeing the Twitter meltdown because Charles launched a Climate Clock with Sadiq Khan really makes you realise how a lot of these people don’t know the first thing about the members, they just see an ancient institution that they can project their own bigotry onto.” - Submitted by Anonymous

William's Homewards project looks AMAZING

William has been actively working on this project for two years, whilst simultaneously launching Earthshot 🤯

Never again do I want to see any so called Wales fans complaining about the Waleses' work ethic. The Waleses are unmatched not just when it comes to the effort they put into their projects, but more importantly the impact their projects make not just at a national level but at a global level.

I dare not see anyone say a word about them taking time off in the come August. We all know by now that they don't just sit around all day playing with their children, they are just as busy working their butts off.
