I’m very fortunate in my position to have witnessed first-hand the benefits an individual can reap from the right advice and guidance at the right time. That’s why The Prince’s Trust exists, to offer that vital support to young people across the UK, and I feel proud to play a small part in helping them achieve that.Gareth Southgate OBE
The Future Leaders programme is open to 18 to 30-year-olds, and focuses on personal development and finding confidence and leadership from within. Participants work on essential employability skills, including interview techniques and uncovering what their leadership style is.
The Prince’s Trust and the Future Leaders programme has really helped me to recognise what’s been holding me back. It’s been really eye opening and uplifting and exactly what I needed to motivate me to make a change and take control of my life.Future Leaders Young Person
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and The Prince’s Trust centres being forced to close, The Trust started to deliver Future Leaders via their online hubs. This fast became one of their most successful and in demand programme deliveries online! Due to this style of delivery, they have been able to double the number of participants, reaching more young people than they would have in face to face delivery.
