Prince's Trust -
What we do |
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.
We address this by giving practical and financial
support to the young people who need it most. We help
develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling
young people to move into work, education or training. |

|
|
Programmes to
support young people |
|
We run programmes that encourage
young people to take responsibility for themselves –
helping them build the life they choose rather than the
one they’ve ended up with: |
|
|
▪
The Business Programme provides money
and support to help young people start up in business. |
|
▪
The Team Programme is a 12-week
personal development course, offering work experience,
qualifications, practical skills, community projects and
a residential week. |
|
▪
Get Intos are short courses offering
intensive training and experience in a specific sector
to help young people get a job. |
|
▪
Development Awards are small grants
to enable young people to access education, training or
work. |
|
▪
Community Cash Awards are grants to
help young people set up a project that will benefit
their community. |
|
▪
xl clubs give 14-16 year olds who are
at risk of truanting, exclusion and underachievement a
say in their education. They aim to improve attendance,
motivation and social skills. |
|
|
Raising Funds |
|
To continue this vital work we need to raise
around £1 million every week. We rely upon generous giving and
fundraising from a huge variety of people. Supporting The
Prince's Trust can be: |
|
▪
as simple
as using our Business Finder to support a Trust business |
|
▪
as rewarding
as taking on a Challenge Event, where you visit a remote part of
the world for a life-changing adventure |
|
▪
as fun
as taking part in the Palace to Palace cycle ride |
