It has been 25 years since I first met HRH The Prince of Wales and had the pleasure of performing at The Prince’s Trust Gala. And for these 25 years, The Trust and its cause has held a dear place in my heart.
Through a range of programmes, The Prince’s Trust helps young people get into jobs, education and training, equipping them with vital life and employability skills to get their life on track and realise their full potential. I am proud to say that I have been a long-term ambassador for The Trust and continue to be inspired by the young people I have met along the way.
Life has been particularly turbulent and destabilising for young people as a result of the pandemic and The Trust’s work has never been more important that it is now. It was an honour to attend and present at The Prince’s Trust and TK Maxx and Homesense Awards yesterday and celebrate the lives of some incredible young people who have overcome challenges and achieved success through the support of The Trust.
