I HAD A FANTASTIC DAY.
IT’S BEEN BRILLIANT
RAISING MONEY FOR
THE PRINCE’S TRUST.
– MAX, PRINCE’S TRUST SUPPORTER
Fundraising doesn’t have to
be taxing. Fit it into your daily
life by setting up a tuck-shop
at your desk or encouraging
friends and colleagues
to take a pedometer
challenge.
Young people
are almost
3x
more likely
to suffer from
unemployment
than older
workers
Over half a million young
people are unemployed
YOUNG PEOPLE
NEED YOUR
HELP
Over one third of young people
who aren’t in employment,
education or training feel too
anxious to leave the house
Life in the UK was daunting for Quej, who
arrived as a refugee. He’d experienced
physical violence on a daily basis, walked 24
miles a day to school and had no secondary
education. The Prince’s Trust helped Quej
find his feet. He earned certificates in sports
coaching and an apprenticeship. He’s now
a part time youth worker and Prince’s Trust
Ambassador. Quej works tirelessly, is on a
constant quest to learn, and puts a grin on
everyone’s face.
THE PRINCE’S
TRUST GAVE ME
A FOUNDATION FOR
THE FUTURE AND
A CHANCE. BEFORE,
I HAD NOTHING.

ALI AND LOUISE FROM
THE ORGANISATION A.R.M.
HELD A BAKE SALE AT
WORK AS PART OF A TEAM
FUNDRAISING EFFORT.
THEIR TEAM AIMS TO RAISE
£10,000
FOR THE TRUST.
When I was at school, I was always really
quiet and shy. I was also bullied and I ran
into problems with my mental health.
As well as writing and drawing to deal with
all the things going on in my life, I also
started taking drugs.
LAINE
ESPERANZATE
MY STORY
My panic attacks got worse and it wasn’t
long before I was admitted into Brookside,
a young person’s mental health unit.
When I found The Prince’s Trust Team
programme, I didn’t think anything would
come of it. However, through the care and
support of the staff, they showed me that
I did have a future and there were things
that I could do in life.
I started to take on challenges, working as
part of a team and coming up with ways to
channel the ideas I had.
Thanks to them I now have a job as a digital
marketing apprentice.
Joining The Prince’s Trust was honestly one
of the best things I’ve ever done. I’m now
a different person.
The support I’ve had has given me a positive
outlook on life. I’ve found the confidence
to look and be the way I want to be.
I HAVE PASSION ABOUT
WHAT I’M DOING AND
AM READY FOR THE
FUTURE.
