Prince William will pay tribute to his late mother, Princess Diana, with a special celebration on her 64th birthday.
The Prince of Wales will go to Sheffield, northern England, on Tuesday, July 1, to mark the second anniversary of his five-year program, Homewards.
The future king established the project, inspired by his late mother's campaigning, who taught in William and Prince Harry concern for the destitute.
In a documentary, William disclosed that as youngsters, Diana accompanied him and his brother Prince Harry to shelters. The late Princess helped raise a focus on the compassion underlying homelessness via her charities.
William has now expanded her purpose as a patron of charities Diana previously sponsored, such as Centrepoint and The Passage.
Ahead of his visit, William wrote an emotional letter to the six participating regions — Sheffield, Newport in South Wales, Aberdeen in Scotland, Northern Ireland, Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole, and Lambeth in London — praising the team's efforts and lifting their spirits for the next stage of their project.
"We have the potential to use our combined strengths, knowledge, and resources to this common goal. I am really delighted to state that your collaborative efforts have already resulted in long-term effect," William wrote.
"I am confident we can lead and inspire understanding, empathy and optimism that homelessness can be ended."
