Who Are The Prince's Trust?

The Prince's Trust give practical and financial support, developing key workplace skills such as confidence and motivation. They work with 13 to 30-year-olds who have struggled at school, have been in care, are long-term unemployed or have been in trouble with the law.

The Prince's Trust have helped more than 600,000 young people since 1976 and support 100 more each working day. More than three in four young people that they helped last year moved into work, education or training.

Around one in five young people in the UK are 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.

Million Makers Challenge

Million Makers is a national competition, challenging teams of employees and university students to come together and raise £1 million for The Prince’s Trust and make a real difference to the lives of disadvantaged young people across the UK.

Million Makers teams pitch their business plans to a Dragons’ Den style panel, in order to secure an initial investment from The Prince's Trust.

Teams from companies and organisations across the UK then implement and promote their own mini enterprise. Aspiring Million Makers entrepreneurs must work together to turn seed funding into profit for The Prince’s Trust over the course of six months, competing against each other to run the most profitable mini enterprise.

Up and down the country, our Million Makers are having fun while raising funds through mini enterprises.
