About The Trust

Welcome to The Prince’s Trust

We believe that every young person should have the chance to embrace exciting opportunities. So, we help 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to transform their lives.

Last year we empowered over 58,000 young people to turn their lives around.

More than three in four will achieve greatness, moving into jobs, education and training.

How we support young people

Many of the young people we help are in, or leaving, care, facing issues such as homelessness or mental health issues, or have been in trouble with the law.

We have returned £1.4 billion in value to society through our help for disadvantaged young people over the last 10 years alone.

Our free programmes give young people the practical and financial support they need to stabilise their lives. We help them develop key skills while boosting their confidence and motivation so they can continue to dream big.

Our strategy

Our 2015–2018 strategy lays out the direction of The Prince’s Trust through and beyond our 40th anniversary year. Over the next three years we will address the complex issues faced by many young people today, providing a more holistic end-to-end offering, with better support onto, between and beyond our core programmes.
