About The Prince’s Trust
Youth charity The Prince's Trust helps change young lives. It gives practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. It works with 13-to-30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law. The Prince of Wales’s charity has helped more than 650,000 young people since 1976 and supports 100 more each day. Last year, more than three in four young people supported by The Trust moved into work, education or training. In April 2011, Fairbridge became part of The Prince’s Trust. The new united organisation will help 50,000 young people this year.
Fairbridge is an individually tailored personal development programme combining one-to-one support and group activities, delivered by staff through our 15 centres across the UK. With support, young people build skills in four areas – employability, independent living, learning and community & recreation. The one-to-one support provided by our staff continues for as long as needed. Once ready, our staff assist young people in moving on to a positive next-step.
