On Thursday, 27 March 2025, Prince William visited Aberdeen to see first-hand the difference the Royal Foundation Homewards Project, which he leads, will make to people experiencing homelessness.
Langstane’s furniture project administrator, Rhona Ramsay, had the pleasure of joining a very happy Langstane tenant as they welcomed His Royal Highness and Homewards Advocate, TV personality Gail Porter, to the first flat to be fully furnished by the Homewards partnership. Rhona said “working with Homewards has been incredible – it makes a huge difference having Prince William at the head of such a project, as he brings so many fantastic people and organisations round the table to help. He’s a very down-to-earth, lovely man, who’s clearly passionate about his ambition to make homelessness rare, brief and unrepeated.”
Langstane’s chief executive, Helen Gauld, highlighted how well the Homewards project ties in with their own furniture project, and how well the experience gained from each project benefits the other.
