Prince's Trust- Helping inspirational young people change their lives for the better

As an advocate and business advisor for The Prince's Trust it is always heartwarming to hear about the young people that have benefited from the organisation.

The Prince's Trust website features over 100 stories about the young people that have been helped and changed their lives with mentoring support and the Prince's Trust programmes. Our volunteers really have made a fantastic impact on the lives of many young people.

Read some of the success stories here. 

Prince's Trust Tomorrow's Business Awards

As you are aware I currently volunteer as a business mentor for the Prince’s Trust. As part of their annual scheme to help support young people who set up their own business, the Prince’s Trust also run an award ceremony to celebrate and recognise those who have a strong business ambition.

I recently received the information below regarding the upcoming awards and would like to share this information so that any prospective young people who may wish to enter can do so.

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
