The HP Intern’s 3 Peak Challenge 2011-01-12 · Between the 22 April and 25 April 35 intern’s from HP will be undertaking the 3 Peak Challenge. · All money being raised will be in aid of the Prince’s Trust.
About the Prince’s Trust
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.
They address this by giving practical and financial support to the young people who need it most. They help develop key skills, confidence and motivation, enabling young people to move into work, education or training.
They run programmes that encourage young people to take responsibility for themselves – helping them build the life they choose rather than the one they’ve ended up with.
Examples of these programmes are as follows;
· The Enterprise Programme provides money and support to help young people start up in business.
· The Team Programme is a 12-week personal development course, offering work experience, qualifications, practical skills, community projects and a residential week.
· Get into’s are short courses offering intensive training and experience in a specific sector to help young people get a job.
· Development Awards are small grants to enable young people to access education, training or work.
· Community Cash Awards are grants to help young people set up a project that will benefit their community.
· XL clubs give 14-16 year olds who are at risk of truanting, exclusion and underachievement a say in their education. They aim to improve attendance, motivation and social skills.
Throughout our internships we have all in some way or another helped to raise money for this worthy cause.
The Three Peak challenge is our biggest event to date and we are all taking time out, paying for accommodation, transport, equipment in order to take part so we really hope you can support us all in this.
Remember we are one HP.
Kind Regards,
The HP Interns
