The charity marked its 50th anniversary in 2020 after it was founded in 1970 in response to a rising number of people sleeping rough in the city.
In a message to staff, Prince Charles said that the charity might not have expected to be facing the current situation we do when they began, saying: ‘The particular challenges we are currently facing as a society could never have been foreseen when Changing Lives began its journey in 1970.’
Charles joined a host of commuters on Tuesday morning as he arrived at Newcastle Station ahead of his day in the North East.
