BEST MOMENTS
"We work with young people from the age of 11 to 30, so it's a really broad age range which always catches people by surprise."
"We offer things called Will It Work grants, which are small amounts of money where a young person might have a couple of business ideas or a business idea where they think, I don't know whether this would work."
"And it's so important to give back I think you know and I'm finding this when you get to a certain stage of your life… that's for sure."
"I was a beneficiary of the Prince's Trust myself… which is an absolute privilege."
This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANCE.

ABOUT THE GUEST
THE CHALLENGE WE FACE IN WALES
Wales continues to experience a variety of entrenched social and economic challenges. Workless households, significant health inequalities and high youth unemployment in some areas are the main issues that continue to prevail.
It’s widely recognised that growing up in poverty can have an unjust and detrimental impact on young people, placing barriers on future opportunities.
According to The Prince’s Trust annual Youth Index report (2022)
- 24% of young people in Wales agree they will never recover from the emotional impact of the pandemic
- More than half (56%) of young people in Wales agree that the pandemic has left them feeling “burnt out” and
- 44% reveal that the pandemic has caused a long-term negative impact on their stress levels
- While over half (55%) of Wales’ young people report experiencing a mental health problem
- 46% say the pandemic has made their mental health worse, and
- 28% of young people in Wales surveyed feel like they will fail in life
