THE CHARITIES :





THE PRINCE’S TRUST

The Prince's Trust is a youth charity that helps change young lives.


We give practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. We work with 14 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. We have helped more than 575,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day. More than three in four young people we helped last year moved into work, education or training.


Around one in five young people in the UK are not in work, education or training. Youth unemployment costs the UK economy £10 million a day in lost productivity, while youth crime costs £1 billion every year.
