About The Prince’s Trust

Around one in five young people in the UKare not in work, education or training.

Youth unemployment costs the UK economy£10 million a day in lost productivity, while

youth crime costs £1 billion every year.

About The Prince’s Trust

We address this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most, enabling them to develop key skills, confidence and motivation; and to move into work, education or training

We run programmes that encourage young people to take responsibility for themselves – helping them build the life they choose rather than the one with which they’ve ended up

Example: young people 10/11

Last year we achieved our East Midlands target by supporting 4,219 young people through our programmes

66% were educational underachievers14% were offenders/ex-offenders6% were in or leaving care13% were disabled3% were lone parents1% were refugees/asylum seekers15% were non-white ethnic minorities

What it meant to the young people

Get Into Facilities Management with UPP Sept 2010

“I’ve gained confidence and experience. Being able to do stuff and not just standing around has been really good. I hope that it will help me get a career as a technician” Sam Newbold

Michael Collins

“I did not enjoy School and left with a couple of ‘E’ grades aged 16. I went on to have large amounts of time unemployed taking occasional bar and call centre temp work.

In May 2011 I managed to gain a place on the Get into Construction course whilst claiming Job Seeker’s Allowance. This four week programme gave me support, training, a CSCS card and real on-site work placements – one was with ‘Rilmac’ Scaffolding.

I would recommend this programme to anyone interested in the Construction industry as it has boosted my confidence, given me training and contacts but most importantly enabled me to find the job with Rilmac. A job I actually see a future in!”

In addition to securing a job Michael’s hard work and motivation hassecured him a place as a finalist in Youthbuild UK’s Young Builder ofthe Year Awards 2011. He is now well and truly on the road to

success.
