Prince’s Trust - www.princes-trust.org.uk

The Prince's Trust helps change young lives.

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.
