The Prince's Trust Women's Leadership Group is an innovative fundraising initiative with a dedicated committee of leading, influential women committed to raising funds to help young women get their lives back on track.

Of the 40,000 young people The Trust helps each year, only 15,000 will be young women. And the majority of our donors are male. Our mission is to involve more women in our work and to motivate our female supporters to help us help more disadvantaged young women than ever before.

• £2 million raised in pledged funds;
• 27 members, including 9 patrons;
• 19 dedicated women completed the first women-only Challenge Event, climbing Mount Toubkal in Morocco, the highest mountain in North Africa;
• 17 events held since our launch in November 2006;
• As a direct result of WLG funds 5 Prince’s Trust projects have been developed and delivered; and
• Some members are actively volunteering.

The year ahead:

• Develop the projects we have started in 2007 and identify at least two new ones;
• Increase our membership to 100 over a three-year period;
• Work to increase the number of female beneficiaries of The Trust from the current 36% to parity over 3 years;
• Continue to ensure our members feel valued and involved; and
• Develop an effective network that enables the members to leverage their strengths.
