Who we help
There are more than one million young people in the UK not in education,
The Prince's Trust helps change young lives.
We have four key target groups:
Unemployed young people
A wealth of research indicates that lower educational attainment and lack of formal qualifications make it much more difficult to secure full-time employment.
To help those with few or no qualifications to build skills, confidence and find employment, we provide personal development opportunities.
To assist young people trying to move into a job, training or education - but lacking the money to do so - we give Development Awards
Young people underachieving in education
5.4% of 15 year olds in England leave school with no qualifications and nearly 25% have fewer than five GCSEs.
To combat school-related challenges such as truancy, exclusions and poor performance, we run xl clubs within 300
Young people leaving care
Approximately 8,000 young people leave care more vulnerable than most. They are more likely to have no qualifications or low basic skills, or be unemployed or homeless.
Young offenders and ex-offenders
According to a Home Office
The Prince's Trust does not run programmes exclusively for young offenders and ex-offenders, but we recognise the strength of our programmes to help them break the offending cycle and fulfil their aspirations.
