Prince William, patron of Centrepoint, met some of those moving into the low-cost housing units, called Reuben House, on his visit to Peckham.Food banks say one in five using their services is now in a working familyThe first residents have jobs in construction, information technology , social services and hairdressing, Ms Orlopp says.
