Prince William has spoken out in support of a homelessness charity which recently held a rough sleeping event to raise cash.The prince, son of Charles and second in line to the throne, backed Centrepoint, which last week saw celebrity and business supporters give up their bed for a night to raise an average of £500 each.Those taking part included former Blue Peter presenter Zoe Salmon, Loose Women host Lisa Maxwell and employees from King Sturge, Drivers Jonas and Chartered Bank.Prince William, who is patron of Centrepoint, said: "The more people who understand the devastation inflicted on young lives by homelessness, the more Centrepoint can do to support those same young people."Young men and women are driven to homelessness for all sorts of reasons, and the support that Centrepoint offers can be life-saving and life-changing."The event ran at Old Spitalfields Market, the London location known for alternative shops and stores.
