The King’s Trust – previously known as The Prince’s Trust – is one of the monarch’s finest achievements. The beloved youth charity, which King Charles is president of, has helped more than a million young lives.
It targets people aged 11 to 30 and aids them with life skills and access to work and job opportunities. Previous beneficiaries have included Luther star Idris Elba, who used a £1,500 grant from it to help start his career, reports the Mirror.
This year, four young people are being celebrated for their incredible achievements as finalists in The King’s Trust Young Achiever category at the Daily Mirror Pride of Britain Awards, in partnership with TSB, in a grand event at the Grosvenor House Hotel on October 21. “This is for the 200 million women worldwide fighting their battle with endometriosis,” one nominee says.
