The Prince's Trust Palace to Palace 2016 · 2 October 2016 ·

The King’s Trust supports 11 to 30 year-olds who are unemployed or struggling at school to get their lives on track. Many of the young people we support are in or leaving care, have been in trouble with the law, or they are facing challenges such as homelessness or mental health issues.

Story

Thanks for taking the time to visit my Palace-2-Palace 2016 page.

I first heard of the Palace-2-Palace race last year. As most of you will be aware I  had hip replacement surgery last summer  and due to that I wasn’t able to participate. I actually saw the Team Capgemini on the day while I was on my way to physio...

So now to the most important thing - the cause. I have been very lucky to have parents who supported me in my education. They have been (and still are) role models, they have spent years patiently doing my homework with me and paid school fees. Because of this fantastic support, getting into a good job was easy.

Unfortunately, so many young people are struggling to get into jobs, which is catastrophic in two ways: firstly, because they have no way of getting satisfaction out of the work they're doing and secondly, from a societal perspective, because we're wasting great talent!

So please support me in supporting those that need our help to get into a job.
