Every young person should have the chance to succeed.
At The King’s Trust, we believe that every young person should have the chance to succeed, no matter their background or the challenges they are facing. We help young people from disadvantaged communities and those facing the greatest adversity by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.

How we support young people

Our courses, resources and other support help people aged 11 to 30 to develop essential life skills, get ready for work and access job opportunities. We support young people to find work because having a job or running a business can lead to a more stable, fulfilling life.
Over the last five years, 3 in 4 young people supported by The Trust moved into work, education or training.
We know that by helping young people today, the benefits will be felt for years to come – not just for those we support, but for their communities and the wider economy.

Our strategy

Almost a million young people in the UK are out of work, education or training. Without the right support, many are losing faith in themselves and their futures.
That’s why the focus of our strategy for 2025 to 2030 is on supporting young people to break the cycle of unemployment. Together, we can help them build the confidence and skills they need to succeed, no matter what challenges they are facing.
