A Sheffield youth and community outreach project had a surprise visit today when the Prince of Wales joined them for a barbecue.
Prince William arrived at Reach Up Youth in Burngreave this afternoon (June 27) to meet hard-working residents, enjoy some lunch and even take a shot at a basketball hoop.
His visit comes as part of a tour for the launch of ‘Homewards’, his five-year programme to tackle homelessness in the UK.

The Prince spoke about his personal connections to homelessness, telling an audience, which included representatives from leading homelessness charities, how his mother, Diana, Princess of Wales, took him to a homelessness shelter when he was 11, which left a "deep and lasting impression".
