The Prince's Trust Celebrates 40th Anniversary

I was very humbled to receive an email this morning thanking me for my contribution towards The Prince's Trust as they approach their 40th Anniversary. Having previously volunteered as a business guru for the trust, I can honestly say the work they do to help young people is incredible and invaluable. I would definitely act as an advocate for anyone considering volunteering their time and skills to the cause. The email received is below. A massive well done to The Trust and thanks for letting me be a part!  The Prince's Trust is celebrating its 40th Anniversary! "This is an opportunity for me to thank each and every one of you for your invaluable contribution to the work of The Prince’s Trust. As we celebrate our 40th anniversary, we reflect on all that we have achieved together. Since 1976, 825,000 young people have been helped by The Trust and we certainly could not have achieved this without your incredible passion for supporting young people and helping them reach their potential. Without your help, we would not have been able to support 58,554 young people last year. Without your enthusiasm, young people could not have benefited from employability and life skills sessions delivered by volunteers. Without your dedication, young people would not have had the chance to be supported by our Talent Match programme and Science, Technology, Engineering and Maths related sessions would not have been delivered to so many young people. Without your commitment, so many young people would not have received the hours and hours of invaluable mentoring and guidance to help them progress into a positive outcome You are also a vital part of our future and we look forward to working with you to help the next generation of young people. There are still over 600,000 young people who are unemployed, many lacking key skills to move into work. More than ever today, The Trust needs you, and above all the young people need your continued support. With heartfelt thanks and best wishes, Martina Milburn CBE
