Writing in The Big Issue, William said: “I was 11 when I first visited a homeless shelter with my mother. She was determined to shine a light on an overlooked, misunderstood problem.

“I’ve always believed in using my platform to help tell those stories and to bring attention and action to those who are struggling. I plan to do that now I’m turning 40. Even more than I have in the past.”
