Every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter what their background and despite any challenges they may be facing. The Prince’s Trust helps young people aged 11 to 30 who are unemployed or struggling in their education to transform their lives by supporting them to realise their potential.

The Trust’s practical courses, together with the assistance of its youth support workers and mentors, equip young people with the confidence and skills they need to move into work, training and education.

Young people need us now more than ever. Rising unemployment, a shrinking jobs market and ongoing disruption to training and education opportunities is having a potentially devastating impact on young lives. The Trust will always be there for young people across the UK, giving them a lifeline to overcome even the toughest barriers.

Together, we can help young people to upskill, reskill and build the confidence they need to get back on track in these difficult times. We can help them to feel positive about their futures, supporting them to develop their confidence and skills and keep their motivation levels up through the challenges ahead.
