The Prince's Trust

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Prince's Trust is a non-profit organization that aims to help young people from difficult backgrounds. The Trust was founded in 1976 by Charles, Prince of Wales . It supports people between the ages of 11 and 30 who are unemployed and those who have school problems and are in danger of being excluded from school. Many of the young people supported by the trust are in state custody or come out of it and face problems such as the threat of homelessness, or have mental problems, or have already come into conflict with the law.

The Trust organizes a wide range of training programs and offers practical and financial support to develop self-confidence and motivation in young people. Every year the Truth works with around 60,000 young people, three out of four of whom come into work, begin apprenticeships, or accept internships or training.

founding

In 1999 the numerous charities of the Trust were brought together under the name "The Prince's Trust" and officially recognized by Queen Elizabeth II in a ceremony at Buckingham Palace , where she also awarded a Royal Charter . In the following year, branches were set up in Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and the English regions, with management remaining in London. The Prince's Trust fundraising and campaign events are often supported by celebrities from around the world. In April 2011, the Fairbridge youth welfare organization joined forces with the Trust.

The Prince's Trust is one of the UK's most successful funding organizations and the leading youth charity that has so far helped more than 870,000 young people get their lives under control. It sponsored 125,000 business start-ups and provided economic assistance to more than 395,000 people in the UK (2013). From 2006 to 2016 the amount of aid was estimated at £ 1.4 billion.

Target groups

The trust works primarily with young people from four target groups: the long-term unemployed, people who have come into conflict with the law, people with academic difficulties and people who have been in custody. These young people are seen as "disadvantaged". Some people who have a job and therefore do not belong to the four target groups also take part in courses from the Prince's Trust. In the so-called Employed Participants Scheme, young people are given additional learning and development opportunities to develop their skills as employees, but also to provide additional support for the other participants by working as additional mentors or supporters for the participants. It is also a fundraising initiative as employers pay a training fee for their employees who take part in the program.

Fields of work (charitable activities)

The Prince's Trust has seven main fields of activity.

  • The Enterprise Program : A program to promote self-employment.
  • The Team Program : A 12-week personal development program with internships, training and community projects.
